Important! Free & Reduced Meal Application Must Still be Submitted by Oct. 15

There is some misinformation being shared that it is not necessary to fill out the free and reduced lunch application now that all meals are being offered for free. This is not true. It is very important that families who currently qualify for free and reduced lunch submit their applications to the district before October 15.  These applications are tied to our school funding.  They are also tied to P-EBT benefits that families can get for being in the program.  Families still need to apply so we have their application on file when the current program ends.

FREE & REDUCED MEAL INFORMATION

Click on the button above for instructions and application for free and reduced lunch. You must reapply each year even if your child previously qualified. Please be sure to complete both the lunch application and the Sharing Information with Medicaid form. Please mail the completed application to Manchester School District Central Office, P.O. Box 4100, Whiting, NJ 08759.

Please Note: If your financial situation has changed since the beginning of the school year, you may re-apply for free and/or reduced lunch program at any time during the year.
