📢 IMPORTANT REMINDER FOR TCSD FAMILIES!

The USDA grace period that allows students to continue receiving last year’s free or reduced-price meal benefits ends September 11.

🍎 A NEW Free & Reduced Meal Application must be completed EVERY school year.

If we do not have a new application on file by September 11, your student’s meal status will change to PAID.

Please don’t wait until the deadline! Applications only take a few minutes to complete.

💻 Apply online through SchoolCafé:
www.schoolcafe.com/tcsd

📝 Prefer paper? Applications are also available at your student’s school.
Even if you aren't sure your family will qualify, we encourage you to apply. Completed applications not only help eligible families with meal costs, but also help support funding and resources for our schools.

❤️ Thank you for helping us make sure our students are ready for a great school year!

One of the most common questions we receive is: “Why did my child’s meal status change from free or reduced to paid in September?”

The answer is:
A new application was not submitted for the new school year.

Meal applications are only valid for the school year in which they are completed.

Each new school year begins with a 30-day grace period where your child receives the same meal status they had the previous year. However, once that grace period ends, if a new application has not been submitted, we are required to change your child’s status to paid.

Don’t forget to submit a meal application for School Year 2026–2027!

If you completed an application between 7/1/25 and 6/30/26, that was for School Year 2025–2026 — not the upcoming school year.

To avoid your child being charged for meals, be sure to apply for the new year before the grace period ends in September.
