Fulton Public Schools will offer food substitutions to students who have food allergy documentation from a medical professional/Doctor. Provide the school nurse with allergy information on your child.

Food allergy information is entered into our computer lunch program and carries over from one year to the next.

Medical Statement for Student Requiring Meal Modification

The Nutrition Services department uses a computerized system that allows parents to make online deposits to their students’ accounts through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Parents may call the Food Services Department to make deposits by phone using debit or credit cards. Cash and personal checks are accepted by the cashiers at each school building. As the student purchases food, money is deducted from the account.

Students will receive reminder notices when their accounts are running low. Students may still use cash to purchase meals if they choose.

Children from families whose current income is at or below those shown are eligible for free or reduced-price meals. Applications are available at the school office. To apply, fill out a Free and Reduced Price School Meals Family Application and return it to the school. The information provided on the application is confidential and will be used only for the purpose of determining eligibility. Applications may be submitted at any time during the school year. A complete application is required as a condition of eligibility. A complete application includes: (1) household income from all sources or Food Stamp/TANF case number, (2) names of all household members, and (3) the signature and last four digits of social security number or indication of no social security number of the adult household member signing the application. School officials may verify current income or other information provided on the application at any time during the school year.

Foster children may be eligible regardless of the income of the household with whom they reside. Households with children who are eligible under the foster, Head Start, homeless, migrant, or runaway programs should contact the school for assistance in receiving meal benefits. Participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) may be eligible for free or reduced-price meals.

Children who are members of households currently certified as receiving Food Stamps, TANF, or FDPIR are eligible for free meals. To complete an application, the household must provide the names of the children, a statement that the household receives the qualifying benefits, the Food Stamps/TANF/FDPIR case number, and the signature of the adult household member making the application. When the school knows that members of a household are receiving assistance from Food Stamps, TANF, or FDPIR, households will be notified of their children’s eligibility for free school meals. If any children in the household were not listed on the eligibility notice or not listed on the application, the household should contact the school to have benefits extended to all children in the household.

If a family member becomes unemployed or if family size changes, the family should contact the school to file a new application. Such changes may make the children of the family eligible for these benefits.

Under the provisions of the policy, the Director of Food Services will review the applications and determine eligibility. If a parent is dissatisfied with the ruling of the determining official, they may wish to discuss the decision with the hearing official on an informal basis or he/she may make a request either orally or in writing to the Superintendent. Hearing procedures are outlined in the policy. A complete copy of the policy is on file in each school and in the central office, where any interested party may review it.
