Meal Applications

Great news! All KCKPS enrolled students are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household each day of the 2026-27 school year. 

The district will no longer use the free and reduced-priced meal application until further notice. Instead, one parent/guardian from each household will submit a different form, the Household Economic Survey (HES).

Our Mission

Good nutrition and learning go hand in hand. Nutritional Services mission is "Providing nutritious and flavorful foods, to inspiring students, in a welcoming environment, while maintaining financial responsibility and excellence." We work to ensure all students are afforded the opportunity to receive healthy, enjoyable meals that are student tested and student approved.
