As the federal government shutdown continues, the Martin County School District recognizes that some families may be facing unexpected financial challenges.
To help ensure that all students have access to healthy meals during the school day, families whose current income may now qualify for meal benefits are encouraged to submit an application for free or reduced-cost school meals.
Applications can be completed online anytime at myschoolapps.com. Families may also request a paper application from their child's school. The application reflects your household’s financial situation at the time of submission, and families are welcome to apply whenever there is a change in income, such as during a furlough or reduction in work hours.
Once approved, meal benefits remain in effect for the entire school year, even if your household’s financial circumstances improve later on. Families who no longer wish to use this benefit may contact the District’s Food & Nutrition Services team, though it is not required.
To apply, visit myschoolapps.com or navigate to the Food & Nutrition Services section of the District’s website.
For questions or assistance, please contact the Food & Nutrition Services Department at 772-223-2655.
