The online Free and Reduced-Price School Meals Family Application should be filled out by all families, even those not wishing to participate each year with all your students listed.

We ask this for several reasons:

• Guidelines may change and an application could potentially qualify under new guidelines,

• Noble Public Schools’ federal funding for other programs is based on these applications,

• Noble Public Schools’ charge policy will allow students to charge up to $30.00 in the cafeteria for lunch and breakfast meals. The district will communicate with the student and parent/guardian when a student is approaching and/or exceeded this amount. Once a student has exceeded this amount, the student may be served an alternate meal.

The application also contains Frequently Asked Questions and contains the Family Income Guidelines for Eligibility for the reduced school meals. If you have any questions regarding the application, please do not hesitate to call Kris Fipps at (405) 872-5690. Again, your applications and responses will be kept confidential.
