Fee Waivers-It is necessary to apply for a fee waiver annually; last year’s application will not be valid for this school year. Students may receive a fee waiver for one of the following reasons:

  • Family receives TANF (currently qualified for financial assistance or food stamps)

  • Student receives Supplemental Security Income (qualified child with disabilities)

  • Student qualifies for McKinney-Vento

  • Student is in Foster Care (under Utah or local governmental supervision) or State Custody

  • Student is eligible based on family/household income verification


Please bring the required income verification as described in the fee waiver application as well as the application English Fee Waiver Application // Spanish Fee Waiver Application.


School Lunch - LINQ Connect Online or the LINQ Connect App (available on iOS and Android) will be used for meal services in the 2026–2027 school year. This will make it easier for families to apply for Free and Reduced Lunch, manage lunch balances, view menus, and more. Student meals are $1.50 for breakfast and $2.50 for lunch. You will need to submit a Meal Benefits Application in order to qualify for free or reduced-price meals for the 2026-27 school year. Remember applications have to be completed annually. Qualification is based on factors including household size, income, participation in assistance programs such as SNAP, FDPIR, and TANF, as well as living situations such as homelessness and migrancy. Free & Reduced Lunch Applications are currently available. Please watch for additional communication from our Child Nutrition Team very soon.
