Free & Reduced Price Meals Information
Families can apply for free or reduced price school meals on-line. This can be done by clicking the “File an Application Electronically” link below. You will need your child’s Student ID Number. If you do not know your child’s Student ID Number please contact (814) 684-0710 ext. 4138.
Direct Certification
If you receive a direct certification notice stating you are eligible for free meals you do not need to submit a paper application. If you do not receive a direct certification notice for all the children in your household please contact 684-0710 x4138 immediately to ensure your children are receiving the correct benefits.
File an Application Electronically
An application must be completed and approved each school year. Eligibility from one school year is carried over into the next school year to allow time for families to re-apply. If a new application has not been received and approved by the cut-off date of October 6, eligibility for the program is forfeited, and parents are responsible for meal charges incurred.
Applications can be submitted electronically by clicking the link above. Applications are also available at your child's school office or by calling the district office at 684-0710 x4138 or emailing cjblaska@tasd.us.
If a member of your household receives Food Stamps or TANF Cash Assistance, your child is eligible for free meals but an application is still needed to help us to register your child for benefits. Questions concerning the application approval process should be addressed to Carol Blaska at 684-0710 x4138
