Since the start of Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, school meals have been free of charge to all Hillsboro Students. These free meals were available through funding by a USDA waiver. The federal government waiver expired June 30th, 2022.

This means that free meals will no longer be available to all Hillsboro students for the 2022-2023 school year, without qualification.

Many families will qualify for the Free or Reduced meal rates based on updated income thresholds. Families should complete a Free/Reduced meal application on-line through Infinite Campus parent portal. It’s important to have this completed before the first day of school, so that your child is not incurring
charges.

Once approved students are free or reduced for the year and the first 30 days of the following school year. Parents will resubmit this form annually as a part of Online Registration. If you need assistance , please call our Food Service office at (636)789-0001 or (636)789-0002.
