With the 2022-23 school year just around the corner, it’s time for parents to consider applying for the free/reduced meal plan offered by Fountain Hills Unified School District.

While registering a student online for school, an application for free/reduced lunch is presented as an option. This is for a family that wishes to apply based on income. The other method for bringing kids to the program is any child whose family in on a social service feeding program such as food stamps, TANF, or foster children, are identified and automatically added to the free breakfast/lunch plan.

Only one application needs to be filled out per family for students attending FHUSD schools.

At school, the program is completely anonymous. Children enter a pin number when checking out at the cash register like everyone else, so there’s no difference between students who eat paid, free, or reduced meals.

Families that qualify for free lunch also qualify for free breakfast. For the reduced plan, meal accounts can be handled online at fountainhillsschools.org or paid by cash or check to each school.
