If you have not applied for free or reduced lunch this year, please take the time to do so ASAP. Last year’s free or reduced-price status will expire on October 1 and you student will return to a full paid status unless they you complete a meal application or are approved for state funded meal benefits.
How families apply for free or reduced-price meals:
-
Online applications are preferred. Families may create an account and apply at www.SchoolCafe.com/AustinISD.
-
New for this school year, we may now accept PDF applications in English or Spanish completed by families with a digital signature and returned to foodservicebusinesssupport@austinisd.org.
-
Families may also complete a paper application and return to your front office.
Families may apply for state funded benefits, such as SNAP, at www.yourtexasbenefits.com.
We encourage you to check out the Food Service Communications Toolkit (Non-CEP) ENG SP SY25 for more information and shareable resources.
