WE NEED YOUR HELP. Watson Chapel School District is asking all students have a completed Free and Reduced Meal Application on file for this year. So far only about 55% of students have one on file.
We need these applications to be able to continue to provide meals at no charge to students next year.
These applications the school fund student meals, free ACT testing, technology for schools and helps to support our music, art and sports programs.
If you have not filled out a meal application for your student, or received a letter stating your student has been approved for free meals due to SNAP, please fill one out today.
You can complete it on line at https://secure.ezmealapp.com/ApplicationScreen.aspx or pick up a paper copy from the school.
Chelsey Dixon is cooking up some corn on the cob for our High School lunch today. Along with being delicious, corn is high in fiber, vitamins and minerals.

Out of an abundance of caution, WCHS students will be dismissed at 9:45 am today, August 29, 2024. All other campuses will have a regular school day. Buses will run. Parents who wish to pick up students can drive up to the concession stand at the football field and check out their students. Parents should not exit their cars-students will come to the vehicle. This day will have to be made up at a later date. We appreciate your cooperation and patience and continue to take the safety of staff and students seriously.
Watson Chapel School District is asking all families to complete the Free and Reduced Meal Application. All families that turn in the application by Friday, August 30th - you will be entered into a drawing for a $100 Walmart Gift Card.
Arkansas notifies schools of students who are automatically listed as free because they received SNAP benefits and parents should have already received letters about their status. Those students are automatically entered into the drawing.
Applications can be filled out at https://secure.ezmealapp.com/ApplicationScreen.aspx or paper applications are available at the schools.
If you have any questions, please contact Paula Bailey (Food Service Director) at pbailey@wcmail.k12.ar.us or 870-515-4090

REMINDER:
Watson Chapel School District is asking all families to fill out free and reduced meal applications for their students. Students will still eat at no charge this school year, but we need the data from the meal applications to show our district still qualifies for students to eat at no charge.
Plus, everyone who completes and turns in an application by August 30th is eligible to win a $100 Walmart gift card from the Akansas Hunger Relief Alliance/No Kid Hungry.
If your student receives SNAP benefits, you do not need to fill out an application and you are automatically eligible for the drawing.
Applications may be completed at https://secure.ezmealapp.com/ApplicationScreen.aspx or you can pick up a paper copy at your student's school. Paper applications are to be returned to the school.
