Free & Reduced Meal Application is Available
All families are encouraged to apply
While free meals for all students have been a welcome relief during the COVID-19 pandemic, these benefits have ended.
The federal government, which has funded a program that allowed all students to receive free meals, has not included these dollars in this year’s budget. To continue to receive the benefits of the program, families will need to complete the Free & Reduced Meal application. This form will also be available in Skyward after August 15.
Even if you’re unsure if your family will qualify for benefits, we are encouraging all families to apply. If approved for the program, the information submitted can help Mason Public Schools continue to receive other State and Federal funds.
If you have any questions, please contact the Food Service office at 517-676-6529 or schedule a time to talk with our team.
