FREE BREAKFAST AND LUNCH FOR ALL CHILDREN ATTENDING SOUTH REDFORD SCHOOLS

Take meal prep off your to-do list. Schools will provide free meals to ALL STUDENTS attending South Redford School District, regardless of your current household income or previous eligibility or status.

We still need EVERY HOUSEHOLD to complete the online Household Information Report (formerly the Free & Reduced Meal Application) OR turn in ONE (1) paper form that includes ALL household members. The online link is located below and the pdf. version that can be downloaded and printed is located to the right. Please turn in the completed paper form to the secretary at your student's school or it can be emailed to: [email protected]

WHY is this important and necessary? Because many areas of your student's education rely on State funding and the amount of funding each school receives is determined by the information gathered on the Household Information Forms. The more forms that are turned in, the more funding will be received from the State. We want to ensure that South Redford School District receives all the funding it can to benefit our students.

Rest assured that ALL of the information on the form is strictly confidential.
