You may be thinking, “Why should I fill out the Free and Reduced Price Meals application?” You could be eligible for many great benefits and resources for your child. Grand Prairie ISD would like to dispel another myth about free and reduced-price meals. Hear what GPISD students have to say about the Free and Reduced Price meal application.

🚨 As a reminder, this application must be renewed every school year, or benefits will stop after 30 days of the school year. Also, students not participating in the free and reduced-price meal program will be required to pay for meals.�
We encourage all GPISD families to submit an application even if you think you may not qualify. To apply now and/or check the status of your application, visit http://www.gpisd.org/freemeals. If you have any questions 🙋‍♀️, please don’t hesitate to contact the Child Nutrition Department at (972) 343-4410.

We’re asking our parents to complete the School Lunch Application, even if you think you may not qualify or even if you never intend to use the service.

Why? Because these forms do way more than determine meal benefits — they directly impact school funding, program resources, and even parts of our accountability rating.

A few minutes of your time = real support for our campus.

Please help us by completing the application today. Our students may benefit from the form submitted. ❤️

Applications for free and reduced-price meals are now available! 👏

Starting today, you can make a big impact at your student’s campus. Completing the free and reduced-price meals application helps secure state and federal funding that supports our classrooms, technology, student programs, and extracurricular activities.

🚨 As a reminder, this application MUST be renewed every school year,🚨 or benefits will stop after 30 days of the school year. Also, students not participating in the free and reduced-price meal program will be required to pay for meals.

We encourage all GPISD families to submit an application even if you think you may not qualify. To apply now and/or check the status of your application, visit https://www.gpisd.org/freemeals.

Every submission helps protect funding that benefits all GPISD students and may provide access to additional benefits, including:
* Free or reduced-price meals
* After-school academic and enrichment programs
* Additional school resources and technology support.

These meals are a good source of nutrition, helping students stay healthy and ready to learn.

If you have any questions 🙋‍♀️, please don’t hesitate to contact the Child Nutrition Department at (972) 343-4410 if you have any questions.
