Fountain Valley School District

Annual Household Eligibility Form - More than a Meal Application

(also known as Free and Reduced Price Meal)

 

Many families believe they only need to fill out this form if they want their child to qualify for free or reduced-price school meals. However, even though meals are free for all students, it's still important for EVERY family to complete this form. Doing so helps bring critical funding and essential services to your child's school and our district. Your participation makes a difference! 

Even if your child does not eat school lunch, students who qualify also can receive other benefits like:

• Fee waiver for after-school programs
• Fee waiver or discount for bus passes
• Discounts for your family on utilities and internet service

How does filling out this form help my school?

• Schools may become eligible for money to fund after-school programs.
• Schools get more money in their budgets to support students.
• FVSD qualifies to receive more money per student from the state and federal government.

Is this information confidential? 

• Personal information submitted on the form is not shared with the state or federal government; only the number of students who qualify for free or reduced lunch is shared.
• Principals and teachers are not told which students qualify for these benefits.
• FVSD does not share information with other organizations that provide benefits. But if your child does qualify, you may use the eligibility form provided by FVSD to qualify for other benefits through providers like PG&E and Comcast.
• If your child qualifies and chooses to eat lunch at school, the breakfast and lunch process is the same as a student who is paying full price.
