Circumstances change during the year. To assist you, applications are accepted any time during the 2023- 2024 school year for the Free or Reduced-Price Meal program!
Pinchbeck had 38.11% students qualify for free or reduced-priced meals in 2022-23. If a school exceeds a threshold of 40% students qualifying for free or reduced-price meals, under the "Community Eligibility Provision", the entire school will be designated as a free meal school the following year. This is why some neighboring elementary and middle schools near Pinchbeck receive free lunches for all students.
- For school year 2023-2024, the cost of reduced-price meals is being waived; therefore, students approved for reduced-price meals will not have to pay!
