Happy First Day of Summer! While we are in the dog days of summer, don't forget to apply for the free or reduced-cost school meals program - the first day to apply online is July 1 on the Pasco County School District's website at www.pasco.k12.fl.us/free_reduced.
Families who qualify must reapply every year for assistance. If you do not want to apply online, paper applications will be available at any Pasco County school cafeteria, administrative offices, and at school orientations starting August 1.
Regular student meal prices for the 2012-2013 school year will be $1.25
for breakfast, $2 for lunch for elementary students; $1.40 for
breakfast, $2.50 to $3 for lunch for secondary students. Students who
qualify for reduced meals will pay 30 cents for breakfast and 40 cents
for lunch. Household size and income criteria determine whether students qualify for the program. If your family doesn't currently qualify for assistance but income or household size factors change during the school year, you can apply at any time during the school year.
For more information telephone Nicole Westmoreland at (813) 794-2438 or email her at nwestmor@pasco.k12.fl.us.
