HOUSTON \u2013 The new school year is rapidly approaching and with its arrival, so is the reality of lunches for children.<\/p>\n
Some families may qualify for free or reduced cost meals for their children at Houston ISD schools, but there is a process to determine and apply for it.<\/p>\n
Application<\/p>\n
Families will need to fill out the HISD School Nutrition Meal Application<\/a>. To do this, you must access your SchoolCaf\u00e9 account. The district encourages all families to complete an application, even if they are unsure whether they qualify.<\/p>\n Families at schools not participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program will need to complete a Free\/Reduced-Price Meal Application to determine eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch meals.<\/p>\n The following schools are not participating in the CEP program this year:<\/p>\n Baker Montessori<\/p>\n Briarmeadow Charter School<\/p>\n Bush Elementary School<\/p>\n Condit Elementary School<\/p>\n Harvard Elementary School<\/p>\n Helms Elementary School<\/p>\n Horn Elementary School<\/p>\n Kolter Elementary School<\/p>\n Mandarin Immersion Magnet School<\/p>\n Oak Forest Elementary School<\/p>\n Poe Elementary School<\/p>\n River Oaks Elementary School<\/p>\n Roberts Elementary School<\/p>\n Sinclair Elementary School<\/p>\n Travis Elementary School<\/p>\n Twain Elementary School<\/p>\n West University Elementary School<\/p>\n Wharton Elementary School<\/p>\n Hogg Middle School<\/p>\n Lanier Middle School<\/p>\n Pin Oak Middle School<\/p>\n TH Rogers Middle School<\/p>\n Bellaire High School<\/p>\n Carnegie Vanguard High School<\/p>\n Challenge High School<\/p>\n DeBakey High School for Health Professions<\/p>\n Energy Institute High School<\/p>\n Heights High School<\/p>\n Houston Academy for International Studies<\/p>\n Kinder HSPVA<\/p>\n Lamar High School<\/p>\n Waltrip High School<\/p>\n Westside High School<\/p>\n Students attending these schools must have an approved Meal Benefits Application on file to determine eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch benefits.<\/p>\n The district says breakfast is free for all HISD students, regardless of meal eligibility.<\/p>\n Click here for more information.<\/a><\/p>\n Additional questions<\/p>\n
