Application For Free and Reduced Meals For the 2026-2027 School Year Now Open 

Free and Reduced Meal Application Now Open-Cover

Parents of enrolled RISD students may now complete the Free and Reduced Meal Application for the 2026-27 school year. 

New forms must be completed each school year. Paper applications are available at each campus and in the Child Nutrition office if needed.  

Student meals will be available for purchase this school year, but students who qualify (based on the guidelines and eligibility) may receive breakfast and lunch meals at little to no cost.

Meal prices will be as follows in the 2026-2027 school year:

  • Student Breakfast – $2.10
  • Elementary Lunch – $3.05
  • Secondary Lunch – $3.20

Students who attend Community Eligibility Program (CEP) schools receive breakfast and lunch at no charge and do not need to fill out the Free and Reduced Meal Application. If your enrolled student attends one of these schools, follow this link to complete your family info form through RISD.
