Free & Reduced Lunch

Instructions for Completing Online Free/Reduced Application through Freedom Cafe

All students returning to Roger Bacon will have the same meal status (Free, Reduced, Full Pay) as the previous school year for thirty (30) days or until a new Free and Reduced Lunch application is completed. Please follow these directions EXACTLY to fill out an electronic application. If this is not completed, your child’s status will automatically be set to full pay after the thirty days has expired.

You will need the following:

• Your standard household income currently.
• You will enter each household member that earns income that contributes to the household and their income amount and frequency.
• Each student at Roger Bacon should be selected and added to the application, if your student(s) is not found when you search, please contact the school immediately.
• Each additional student/household member should be added, with no income if applicable (even if enrolled at another school where another application may have been completed, add the student’s name).
• The last 4 digits of your social security number (of the signer only).
• If you receive Ohio Works First (OWF) or SNAP (formerly known as Food Stamps) Benefits, you will need your 7 digit case number (NOT your medical card number).
• If your student is homeless, foster or meets other criteria, please mark the appropriate box when available (this cannot be changed later on this application).
