Free and Reduced Price Meals

Free and Reduced Price School Meal benefits are available to qualifying families. You may apply for Free and Reduced Price Meals at any time during the school year by filling out an application and mailing it to: Food Services, 365 Quaker Meetinghouse Rd, East Sandwich, MA 02537 or dropping it off in the main office. Per state regulations, we are unable to accept faxed or emailed copies. 

No application is needed if the district is able to directly certify a child through the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Service's Virtual Gateway, such as through receiving MA SNAP, MA TAFDC or Medicaid, for example.

Free and Reduced Price School Meal benefits continue from the previous school year for up to 30 operating days into the new school year. Prior to the end of the carry-over period, the household will either need to be notified by mail that their children are directly certified or submit an approved application in order to continue benefits for the following school year.
