Free and Reduced Applications

As we begin the new school year, we encourage all families to complete a Free & Reduced Meal Application, even if you are unsure whether you qualify.  The application is available now in your parent portal for the upcoming school year.  Please login to your student’s “Student Records Portal” tab and fill out the application.  Each student needs to have an application on file each year.

If your family receives SNAP or TANF benefits, your student will automatically qualify. Applications are confidential and easy to complete. For all applications, we take the information you provide at face value. We do not question or investigate the information families submit. Only a very small number of applications (approximately 5 out of every 2,000) are selected for verification.

Completing this application helps more than just your family. The number of qualifying applications submitted helps our school qualify for additional grants and resources. Last year, the information from these applications helped us receive funding from the William Barry Love Foundation, which allowed all of our students to eat free meals.

If you need assistance completing the form or have questions about eligibility, please contact Teresa Riddle at triddle@hilldaleps.org or Janet Johnson at  jjohnson@hilldaleps.org

Thank you for helping us ensure that all students have access to the resources they need to succeed.
