VISD schools send school meal applications home at the beginning of each school year. However, you may apply for school meals at any time throughout the school year by submitting a household application to your school. Your school will provide you with an application upon request.

If you are earning at or below current Income Eligibility Guidelines, we encourage you to contact your school to fill out a school meal application. The school or local education agency will process your application and issue an eligibility determination.

If you are eligible for unemployment compensation, you might also be eligible for free or reduced price school meals and can submit an application to your school.

If you are receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, your child automatically qualifies for free school meals.

Please contact Tory Gateman in the VISD District Office (206-463-8528) to determine if you need to fill out an application or if you have questions.
