Free and Reduced-Priced Meals Applications
Available
|
Applications for
free/reduced-price meals are available at the Food Service
Center, and at all Irving ISD schools. At the start of every
school year, parents are strongly encouraged to apply for
free/reduced-price meals for their children. Parents should
also re-apply any time there is a negative change in the
economic status of their household (i.e. job loss, divorce,
etc.) or any time there is an addition to their family (birth of
a child, adoption, etc.) |
The Food
Service Department has a separate office to give parents the
opportunity to come by in person and fill out an application for free or
reduced-price meals for their children attending Irving ISD schools.

Thirty Day
Grace Period
Students who
were approved for free or reduced price meals last year in an Irving ISD
school (and were active students at the end of the school year) are allowed
to eat free meals or reduced-price meals for up to 30 days based on last
year’s application. This grace period gives the Food Service Department
time to process all the applications for this school year. If the
eligibility status changes based on this year’s applications, the new status
will be effective immediately.
Younger
brothers and sisters may also eat free or reduced-price meals during the
grace period based on the family’s status from last year. Siblings who now
live with an eligible family may participate in the grace period.
New students
to Irving schools may not participate in the grace period. We must have an
approved application on file before we can provide a free meal. |
