Free & Reduced Application Procedures
and Forms

Annually every child in your school receives a Free or Reduced Lunch Application form. Please follow all directions, if you choose to apply for Free or Reduced Meals, and return it to the Cafeteria in a white sealed envelope with CAFETERIA written on the outside of the envelope.

All applications are sent to the Central Office and are processed within 10 days. Until the application has been processed Parents are responsible for all meals their children eat until notified of Free or Reduced status. All information submitted is handled confidentially in a computerized format for Central Office use only.

If at any time during the school year your family's financial structure changes you may apply or reapply for Free or Reduced Meals.

For further information please call the Diocese of Shreveport Child Nutrition Program office at 1-800-256-1542, ext. 297 or 219-7297.
