Families must complete the Free and Reduced Meals Application to see if they are eligible to receive free and reduced meals. Visit PaySchools to apply online for Meal Benefits (Free and Reduced Meals Application), https://www.payschoolscentral.com/

If you have questions or concerns regarding the Child Nutrition Department, please contact Jennifer Rex at rexj@plainlocal.org.

Beginning in August 2022, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Services Department will be transitioning to normal child nutrition operations. Please take a few moments to review what that means for meals during the 2022-2023 school year.

Breakfast and lunch will still be available to all students; however, they will not be free to all students. This means that families will need to complete the Free and Reduced Application to qualify for free or reduced-price meals. The students who do not qualify for free or reduced-price meals must pay full price for breakfast and lunch.
