Relationships are at the heart of student success. When students feel connected to their school community through peers, teachers, and staff they're more likely to show up, engage, and thrive. Inclusive school cultures that promote belonging and positive social interactions can signifi cantly boost attendance rates. Schools and communities working together to foster these connections help students stay on track and reach their goals. Let’s build strong relationships because every connection counts!

Please be aware that Monday, September 29, 2025 is the drop date for last year’s free/reduced meal applications (2024–2025). This means all previous applications will be closed.

To ensure your child continues to receive meal benefits, we encourage you to submit a new application for the 2025–2026 school year as soon as possible.

While students attending online school do not have access to free/reduced meals at the brick-and-mortar building, your family may be eligible for other government programs (Internet Discounts) by filling out an application and qualifying for free OR reduced price school meals, if your household GROSS income falls within the eligibility guidelines. All applications must be completed online with your myDSD guardian account. A new application must be filled out every school year. School meal applications do not qualify students for fee waivers. Contact your school/s for fee waiver information.
