from EdAdvance to verify their status soon. We encourage anyone not directly certified who believes they may qualify for free meals to complete an application. Applications can be found on the Food Service webpage or if you would like a paper copy of the application, call us at the number below.
Meal payments or milk purchases may be made through cash or check made out to EdAdvance / Region 12 Food Service in an envelope with the child’s name and teacher to the school. Parents may also go to MySchoolBucks to set up an account and make online payments.
Please note the fee has increased to $3.75, sending cash or check to the school avoids the fee.

EdAdvance Meal Charging Policy
What should I do if I receive a Direct Certification Letter?
Children receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary
Family Assistance (TFA) or Medicaid (HUSKY A) benefits may be directly certified and
automatically eligible for free or reduced meals without completing an application. If you
have received a NOTICE OF DIRECT CERTIFICATION for free or reduced-price meals,
do not complete the application unless instructed to do so by the district. Let the school
know if any children in your household are not listed on the Notice of Direct Certification letter you received, since free or reduced meal benefits are extended to all children in a household when directly certified.
Questions regarding SNAP/TFA/Medicaid and direct certification should be sent
to the determining official,
Wendy Brown at brownw@EdAdvance.org or call 860-567-0863 x 1307.
Why complete an application?
Please complete a Free & Reduced Meal Application if you believe you qualify.
Students who qualify for Free & Reduced Meals may be eligible for other benefits throughout the school year unrelated to food service. Free & Reduced Meal Applications can be found on the district website under Food Services
Important note: If your children qualify for free school meals, you might also qualify for
