Free & Reduced Meals

Complete your application for Free & Reduced Meals for the upcoming school year
Posted on 08/23/2023

We strongly encourage ALL families to submit a Free and Reduced Meal application. Completing the application takes less than 10 minutes, and you only need to complete one meal application per family.

Free and reduced-price meals may be obtained by any student — at any time during the school year — whose family income falls within the guidelines set by the US Department of Agriculture. For assistance, call 360-629-1200 or email [email protected]

Applications can be completed online via Skyward Family Access by clicking the Food Service tab and then Applications to begin. Families can also download a form to complete or find applications at any school or the district office.

All application information is confidential and is used only to determine eligibility for the program. 

Please note, some participants may have already been pre-approved via DSHS and received an email or letter with your child's eligibility for this school year. Please check your Family Access account before completing an application. Those already approved do not need to complete an application.

Students receiving meals under this plan remain anonymous because they use their student ID number to access their account, same as all students. 

Those who qualify for Free and Reduced Meals may also receive additional benefits such as reduced fees. A consent form to share your eligibility status may be needed to receive these benefits. 

For access to nutritious food outside the school day, visit the Stanwood Camano Food Bank at 27030 102nd Ave NW, Stanwood. For more information, visit stanwoodcamanofoodbank.org
