Free and Reduced Meal Program

The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in more than 9,000 schools across Texas and the School Breakfast Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in more than 78,000 schools and institutions across the nation. Together these programs provide qualifying students with a free or reduced-price lunch and/or breakfast.

Qualifying for meal benefits through the NSLP also opens the door to other opportunities for CCISD. We are able to offer no cost or reduced cost services such as tutoring, tuition for summer school program, full day prekindergarten programs, etc. Clear Creek ISD receives federal funding based on the number of children who qualify for this program. An increase in federal funding will benefit all students on your campus.

How to Apply

At the beginning of each school year, Meal Benefit Applications are sent home with students. Meal Benefit Applications are also available on every CCISD campus as well as the Child Nutrition Department. To qualify for one of these benefits, a parent/guardian must complete one application per family and submit it to their child’s campus. Applications may also be completed online at mealbenefits.ccisd.net . Please use the following link for detailed instructions on completing the online application How to Apply Online

A new application must be completed each school year. Students who participated in the Free and Reduced-Price Meal Program in Clear Creek ISD during the previous school year may continue to receive the same benefits for the first 30 days of school or until a new application has been processed. After the first 30 days, a new application must be completed.

Free and Reduced-Price Meal Applications may take up to 10 operating days to process.  Online Meal Application processing may result in a faster response. Parents will be notified by letter once the application has been processed. Students not on the free or reduced-price meal program will be charged for all meals until the meal application is processed.
