School Meal Updates 2022-2023

The National School Lunch Program (NSLPP) waiver that provided free meals to all students due to the COVID-19 pandemic expired on June 30, 2022.

While the Cabot School District will continue to provide free breakfast for PK-12th students, lunch will no longer be free to all students for the 2022-2023 school year. 

*Lunch prices will be finalized during the July 28th Cabot School Board meeting. 

Families who believe they may qualify for free or reduced-price meals based on household income are strongly encouraged to submit an online meal application as soon as possible through www.ezmealapp.com. This website is secure and confidential and is a faster and easier way for parents to apply.

Completing your application can help our district and students in many areas beyond just free or reduced-price meals. These include: 

•       Increased state and federal funding for schools to ensure students receive the support they need and deserve (district social worker, math/literacy/dyslexia interventionists) to help struggling learners, as well as many other academic needs.
•       Discounts on fees associated with applying for college.
•       Discounts on fees associated with academic tests such as the ACT and SAT.
•       Access to two (2) concurrent credit (college classes) opportunities at no cost to the family.
