Lunch Applications

FHUSD finds throughout the school year that circumstances may change and parents are not aware that they can apply for the free and reduced breakfast and lunch program at any time. Once a family is approved for the program, the application is good for the current school year and then the first 30 days of the following school year, a new application is required to be filled out every year to remain on the program. Applications are available with our Food Services department.
