Food Service Updates and Links
After two years of free meals for all, schools in Minnesota will return to fee-based meals this year. And with record-setting inflation and supply chain challenges, the cost of school meals will increase this year.
Cambridge-Isanti Schools encourage all families to apply for discounted or free meals. It’s easy. The confidential application form is now available online in Skyward Family Access. Take time to complete the form before school starts.
Families who complete the Educational Benefits Form (in Skyward Family Access) and qualify for reduced-price or free meals (subsidized by the USDA) may also be eligible for discounts to athletic and activity fees and community education programs. And the more families who qualify, the more compensatory funding the school district receives from the state.
How to Apply
There are three ways to apply for savings.
- Educational Benefits Forms have been mailed to every student household in the school district. Complete the form and return it via mail or email.
- Forms are also available at each school office, as well as the C-I Schools district office, 625A Main Street North, Cambridge, MN 55008.
- Online, visit https://www.c-ischools.org/ and click on Skyward Family Access, log-in, and complete the Educational Benefits Form.
