Watson Chapel School District is requesting all parents complete a Free and Reduced Meal Application for the 2024-2025 School Year.
This school year, all students will continue to eat at no charge. We are asking families to complete the application so we can have data to show our community still benefits from meals at no charge. Without the proper information, Watson Chapel may have to go back to charging for meals in future school years.
Applications are available in paper form or you can fill them out on-line. Only one application is needed per family, as long as all students and household residents are listed.
On line applications are available at: https://secure.ezmealapp.com/ApplicationScreen.aspx
