Meal Info

Any student who attends a Diocesan school that is a part of the Child Nutrition Program (CNP) may participate in the breakfast and lunch programs at his/her school. Students who do not qualify for Free or Reduced price meals may purchase meals. If you are not eligible now and your income decreases, you lose your job, your family size increases or you become eligible for SNAP, FITAP, or FDPIR benefits, you may submit a meal application at that time. You may apply for benefits any time during the school year.

All students are given the opportunity to apply for free or reduced price meals. Applications may be completed online at www.myschoolapps.com or paper applications are available at each cafeteria. A new meal application must be submitted each year, unless you are notified that your child has been approved for free meals as a direct certified student. Only one application is needed per household.

To see if your child/children qualify for Free or Reduced price meals, please refer to the Income Eligibility Guidelines Chart for the 2026-2027 SY.

If you feel your child/children qualify for Free or Reduced price meals, please complete and submit an application.

This includes:

• All new students coming into the Diocesan school district. {NOTE: Students transferring from another school district (EBR or any other public or private school district) must complete & submit a new meal application; his/her previous eligibility is not transferrable. }
• All students transferring from a Diocesan school that does not participate in the CNP program.
• Prior-Year Free/Reduced students {Prior-year status expires 30 operating days after the 1^ro day of school}.

If you have a child that will be attending a Diocesan school and he/she has a sibling already enrolled who is a Free or Reduce student, please complete the New Student w/ Sibling Info Form and turn it in to your child’s cafeteria as soon as possible.

Every student has an account with the cafeteria. The account contains your child’s meal account balance, as well as any special notes and/or dietary needs as requested on the Diet Prescription form you submit. All student information is highly confidential and is not shared with anyone.

Parents and non-students are allowed to purchase meals at prices set by the Child Nutrition Program. However, all meals must be paid for at the time of service. No one is allowed to charge a meal to a student's account. Please bring exact amount of meal cost, the cafeteria staff cannot give change.

Effective with school year 2026-2027, all payments for meals must be made through MySchoolBucks.
