We encourage families of middle and high school students to complete a Free/Reduced Price Meal application for their student. Students who qualify will receive meals free of charge or for a discounted price. The Free/Reduced Price Meal application is confidential and can be completed online at www.tulsaschools.org/freemeals. The deadline to apply is September 30.
Elementary students have access to free breakfast and lunch*, but we still encourage families to help support the school's access to federal funding by logging into SmartChoice at enroll.tulsaschools.org and clicking on the “Back to School” form.
Visit the child nutrition page for more information, meal prices, and to add money to your account.
*Virtual elementary students do not qualify for free meals through the Community Eligibility Provision. Please complete the free/reduced meal application by September 30, 2022, as your child may still be able to receive free or reduced price breakfast and lunch.
