Apply now for free and reduced-costs meals for this school year
Posted in , on July 21, 2025

School starts Aug. 13, so now is the time to apply for free and reduced-cost meals for your students.

For the 2025-2026 school year, students approved for both free or reduced-price meals will receive all meals – breakfast and lunch – for free!

Important Reminders:

  • A new application is required every school year, even if your child received benefits last year.
  • To avoid a gap in benefits, apply within 30 days of the school year’s start.
  • Applications are accepted year-round. You can reapply anytime if your household situation changes.

Apply online here, or in person at the Arlington ISD food and nutrition services office, located at 1206 West Arkansas Lane, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Arlington ISD’s food and nutrition services department is committed to helping families access the benefits they qualify for. Please feel free to call 682-867-7895 if you have any questions or need assistance.
