Dear Parent/Guardian:

Children need healthy meals to learn. Sterling Independent School District offers healthy meals every school day. Breakfast costs $.75 for KD. – 12.: lunch cost  $1.00 for K-5; and $1.10 for 6-12  .  Your children may qualify for free meals or for reduced-price meals. The reduced price is $.30 for breakfast and $.40 for lunch.

 

To apply for free or reduced-price meals, use the Free and Reduced-Price School Meals Application,which is enclosed. We cannot approve an application that is not complete, so be sure to fill out all required information. Return the completed application to: Ramona Hasty or Sally Ortiz.

 

Here are answers to questions you may have about applying:

 

1. Who can get free or reduced-price meals? Children in households receiving Food Stamps, TANF and most foster children can get free meals regardless of household income. Also, if your household income is within the limits on the Federal Income Chart, your children can receive free or

reduced-price meals.

2. Will my information be checked? Yes. We may ask you to send written proof of the information you give.

3. What if I stop receiving Food Stamps or TANF? If your children qualify because you listed a Food Stamp or

TANF case number, you must tell the school when you no longer receive Food Stamps or TANF.

4. What if my household size or income changes? If your children qualify for free or reduced-price meals

based on your income, you must tell us if your household size goes down or if your income goes up by

more than $50 per month ($600 per year). Call us at 378-7271 ext.242 to update your application.

5. If I don’t qualify now, may I apply again later? Yes. You may apply at any time during the school year if your

household size goes up, income goes down, or if you start receiving Food Stamps or TANF. If you lose your job,

your children may be able to receive free or reduced-price meals during the time you are unemployed.

6. What if I disagree with the school’s decision about my application? You should talk to school officials. You

also may ask for a hearing by calling or writing to:
