Additional benefits for families eligible for free or reduced-price meals:
Families that are eligible for free and reduced-price meals may also qualify to have fees for ASB cards, sports participation and other extracurricular activities waived by providing your consent to share eligibility information on the application. If you have already completed an application or are directly certified, please complete the Consent to Share Eligibility form (Spanish | Portuguese | Russian) and email it to F-RMealapp@lwsd.org.
Note: Families that qualify for Basic Food/SNAP (formerly known as food stamps), TANF, FDPIR, Foster Care, Homeless, or Migrant through DSHS are automatically enrolled in the free lunch program as “Directly Certified.” Families that are Directly Certified do not need to complete a Free & Reduced meal application to be eligible for Free & Reduced meals. However, if you are Directly Certified, you must still "consent to share" your eligibility status in order to have fees waived for extracurricular activities including ASB fees/cards and sports participation fees. To do this, please complete the Consent to Share Eligibility form (Spanish | Portuguese | Russian) and email it to F-RMealapp@lwsd.org.
