Summer EBT & Education Benefits Application

(Also known as Free/Reduced Meal Applications)

Despite free breakfast and lunch for all students this year, it is still vital for those who qualify to complete the Summer EBT and Education Benefits app. 

This application is tied to benefits beyond school meals! 

If you qualify, you can receive :

  • discounts on your home internet service
  • discounted school Chromebook insurance fees
  • discounts on testing fees
  • additional food assistance for your family
  • and more!

These applications are also tied to a portion of the district's federal funding that helps provide tutors, summer school, counselors, programs and materials and more.

It's a quick form to fill out - less than 10 minutes - and you only complete one per family.

What Form Should You Complete?

Online Meal Account

Families can add money to their child's meal account online. We formerly used "Send Money to School" which has been changed to Meal Magic Family Portal. Each family will have to register their child prior to adding money. You will need this account for a la carte items at the MS and HS and/or if your child wants a second meal. 

Meal Magic Family Portal

If this is your first time visiting this new site, click on Register, review the terms, then check your email for the verification link to get started! It will only take a minute. (Be sure to use the email address you used previously in Send Money to School and your students will be linked to you.)

Parents can still add money to their child's account by sending in cash or a check to school with your child to give to the office. If you have trouble with this online link, contact Julie Guthrie, at 269-694-7447.
