Apply for Free/Reduced Lunch

School Payment Portal

Dear Parents/Guardians,
 
We hope this message finds you well. We are informing you that the parent portal for completing the Free/Reduced Meal Application is now open as an online application. We kindly request your prompt attention to this matter, as it plays a crucial role in ensuring our district continues to receive essential federal funding. I want to inform everyone that guidelines have recently changed and we hope to get even more families approved this year! 
 
At the Somerdale School District, we believe in providing the best possible educational experience for every student. Federal funding is a significant part of our financial resources, enabling us to maintain high-quality programs, hire dedicated staff, and enhance the overall learning environment. By completing the Free/Reduced Meal Application, you directly contribute to securing this funding, even if your child does not qualify for free meals.
 
It is important to emphasize that this application is not solely about free meals. The data collected from all applications helps determine our eligibility for various federal funding programs that benefit every student. This includes funding for academic resources, technology advancements, after-school programs, and additional support services that benefit the entire school community.
 
We understand that each family's financial circumstances may differ, and we want to assure you that all information provided in the application is treated confidentially and used solely for determining eligibility. We strongly encourage you to complete the application, regardless of whether you think your child qualifies for free or reduced-price meals. Your participation directly influences our funding eligibility and allows us to serve the diverse needs of all our students effectively.
 
To access the parent portal and complete the Free/Reduced Meal Application, please visit https://mealapp.lunchtimesoftware.net/, then click on "register" and follow the attached parent guide (this will be a different registration from the portal to load money, but will combine once you register). The portal provides a user-friendly interface that simplifies the application process, making it quick and convenient for you to submit your information securely.
 
If you have any questions or require assistance with the application process, our dedicated support team is ready to assist you. Please feel free to contact ([email protected]) or 856-783-6261 for further guidance.
 
We sincerely appreciate your partnership in helping us secure the federal funding necessary to maintain a high standard of education for all our students. Your participation in completing the Free/Reduced Meal Application makes a meaningful difference in our ability to provide the resources and support our students need to succeed.

Thank you for your attention and support.

Warm regards,
Bruno Berenato
Business Administrator
