Aloha HMS Families,
We encourage all families to complete the Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application—whether or not you think you qualify.
Why is this important?
It helps ensure every student has access to healthy meals at school.
Approved applications can qualify your child for additional benefits (eg: free bus for free meal eligible students)
If our school reaches the threshold of 47.2% of the population qualified for free/reduced meals, our school receives additional funding for programs and supplies that benefit ALL students.
The process is confidential, quick, and easy. You can apply online at ezmealapp.com, and your application will be processed immediately. Click this link for a quick tutorial on how to fill out the online application. If you need assistance, please come to the front office between 7:30-3:30 Mon-Fri, and our lovely front office staff can help you complete your application online.
If your circumstances change at any time during the year, you can apply or reapply.
Let’s work together to make sure every student is nourished and ready to learn.
And as a bonus to your child— If you submit an application for free/reduced meals, and your application is processed by the State deadline of September 17, 2026, whether you are approved OR denied for free/reduced meals, your child will earn 5 Minga praise points just for your participation and support of our school community!
