School Meal Application
 

Free or reduced meal eligibility from the 2007-2008 school year will expire 9/30/08.  It is important to submit your 2008-2009 meal application by Friday, September 19, 2008 to avoid any lapse in service.  If you do not submit a new meal application for the 2008-2009 school year, your child will be required to pay full price beginning 10/01/08.

   
 Allentown School District, Child Nutrition Services accepts family meal applications each school year to give students access to our meal programs. Only one (1) application is necessary for each family applying for benefits.  The family meal application must be submitted each school year to ensure student’s eligibility for free or reduced priced meals. The meal application is completely confidential.  Free or reduced eligibility is based on income eligibility guidelines that are determined by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. There are two ways to complete the meal application.

1.      By using the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Application for Social Services (COMPASS) website. COMPASS serves as a single access point for a variety of social service programs including adult health care coverage, food stamp benefits and cash assistance. COMPASS expedites the application process by allowing applicants to fill out and submit their application online.
