Free and Reduced Lunch Application Eligibility Public Announcement for SY 2024-2025

Dear Parent or Guardian,

NOTICE TO PARENTS

FREE AND REDUCED PRICE SCHOOL MEAL PROGRAM HOUSEHOLD APPLICATION

FOR THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR

The USDA has ended the universal free lunch program, therefore, it is very important to complete a meal application. If you completed a meal application in the 2023-2024 school year and your child(ren) qualified for free or reduced lunch in June, a new application is still required for the 2024-2025 school year. If an application is not completed by October 18th, parent/guardian will be responsible for payment of the FULL PRICE for student’s meals.           

If you are NOT INTERESTED in applying for free and reduced lunch, you DO NOT have to return this application. If applying, please fill out ONLY ONE application per family and list all students enrolled in Rockaway Township Schools and all members of the household. ONLY COMPLETED APPLICATIONS WILL BE PROCESSED. Please note that breakfast is served in all elementary schools NOT Copeland Middle School.                                                                           

You can also download the lunch application forms and instruction via our District website, under Menu > Parents and Community > Free and Reduced Lunch Application Eligibility

You can submit the COMPLETED lunch applications to your child(ren) respective schools.        

If you have any questions, please contact the Business Office at 973-627-8200 x6109 or send an e-mail to ayacavino@rocktwp.net
