Meal Application/LCFF Form and Payment Options

All students, regardless of their family's income or school of attendance, have the option to eat one breakfast and one lunch at no cost. Nipaquay Elementary School will be requested to turn in Free & Reduced Meal Applications since it is a new school.

The district will be requesting any LCFF Alternate Income Forms for all students. These LCFF forms help the district collect the maximum possible funding from the state to support all our schools. The LCFF Alternate Income forms can be filled out in the Powerschool parent portal.
