Parkers Chapel Parents,
The Free & Reduced Meal Application is now online. It can be accessed from the Parkers Chapel Website/Phone App. It will also be in every child’s open house packet.
Parkers Chapel wants to let families know that the federal USDA waiver that allowed schools to feed students free expired June 30, 2022. The USDA did not extend it for school year 2022-2023.
We are urging families that qualify to fill out an application so services can start as soon as possible. Families that do not qualify for free or reduced lunches will have to pay regular lunch prices this year.
