COMPLETE YOUR SCHOOL LUNCH APPLICATION 

Parents are encouraged to complete a school lunch application to determine financial need for school meals, Title I funding, reduced fees for Advanced Placement testing, tuition for dual credit/dual enrollment courses, and other state and/or federal benefits.

Eligibility Guidelines
Families who meet the following eligibility guidelines should complete an application.

• All children in households receiving benefits for MS SNAP, the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) or MS TANF meet eligibility guidelines.
• Foster children under the legal responsibility of a foster care agency or court meet eligibility guidelines.
• Children who are identified as homeless, runaway, or migrant meet eligibility guidelines.
• Children of households with incomes that are within the limits on the chart below also meet eligibility guidelines and should complete a school lunch application to qualify for financial waivers in the school district.

Go to www.starkvillesd.com/backtoschool to complete your school lunch application. 

If you completed a school lunch application prior to July 1, 2022, you will need to complete a new lunch application for the 2022-2023 school year. 

While breakfast will continue to be offered free of charge to all students, the federal government has not extended the Seamless Summer Option for free lunch for all students for the 2022-2023 school year.
