Indiana’s public schools will soon enter a new financial landscape. Senate Enrolled Act 1 (SEA 1) changes how property taxes are calculated, and those changes will affect public school districts throughout the state. Crown Point Community School Corporation is not alone in facing these shifts. Read more about these changes on our website.

Circumstances can change for families at any point during the school year, and support is always available. If your household situation has shifted, you may qualify for free or reduced-price meals. Our cafeterias serve lunch AND breakfast daily.

Applications can be completed at any time and are quick and easy to fill out online through MealTime. Please know that all information related to your student’s free or reduced meal status is confidential.

We encourage you to apply if this resource could help your family. Visit http://www.mymealtime.com/apps or call our Food Service team at 219-663-3371 for more information.
