Free/Reduced-Price Meals

Free and reduced-price lunches are available to students unable to pay the full price of meals according to criteria based on household size and income. Free and reduced price meal applications are mailed to all households annually. If you do not receive an application in the mail or if you experience an income or household size change, an application is available at your local school or contact Food and Nutrition Services at 610-240-1955 or 610-240-1956. Families who earn less than 130 percent of the poverty level are eligible for free meals and those with incomes between 130 and 185 percent of poverty level qualify for reduced price meals. The prices for paid breakfast and lunch are determined by the School Board and the price of reduced price meals are established by the federal government. Reduced price lunch is currently $.40 and reduced price breakfast is $.30 cents.

T&E Care School Meal Assistance Program

If you believe your family could use help covering the costs of school meals, and you do not qualify for the District's free/reduced price meal option, then you may be eligible for the T&E Care School Meal Assistance Program. T&E Care is a local non-profit organization that helps families in Tredyffrin and Easttown townships. The application for the program is available on the T&E Care web site at www.tecare.org/schoolmealassistance.html.

The completed application should be returned to your child's counselor. This program is only for families who:

  1. live in the T/E School District
  2. do not already receive funding through the free and reduced lunch program
  3. have income levels that fall within the guidelines on the application
  4. do not have high negative balances on their children's point of sale accounts
