    As of Friday, September 9th 2016 we MUST have a completed 2016/17 application to re-qualify your family in order for your child(ren) to receive meal benefits this program year. Any student who does not have a 2016/17 completed application (or approved via Direct Certification) on file Monday, September 12th, will go on full paid meal status at this time.
