April 15, 2022

Dear Granite School District Families,

I hope this message finds you well as we are nearing the end of another school year. As you may be aware, Granite Nutrition Services was greatly impacted by the labor and supply shortages facing the country right now. We sincerely appreciate your patience as we have tried to navigate these challenges during this school year.

Our commitment, as always, is to ensure students have access to nutritious food at all Granite school sites. As we prepare for the 2022-2023 school year, there are some important changes to be aware of that could impact Granite families. Currently as legislation stands, all USDA Nationwide waivers will be expiring at the end of the current school year. This means we can no longer offer free breakfasts and lunches to all students next school year.

Granite Nutrition Services will continue to operate the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs at our school sites in the 2022-2023 school year. Families can and are encouraged to apply for Free or Reduced meals beginning July 1, 2022.

Below is a list of frequently asked questions. I hope this will provide more information.

1. Who can receive Free or Reduced Meals?
• All children in households receiving benefits from Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR), or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) are eligible for free meals.
• Foster children that are under the legal responsibility of a foster care agency or court are eligible for free meals.
• Children participating in their school’s Head Start program are eligible for free meals.
• Children who meet the definition of homeless, runaway, or migrant are eligible for free meals.
• Children may receive free or reduced-price meals if your household’s income is within the limits on the Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines. Your children may qualify for free or reduced-price meals if your household income falls at or below the limits of the Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines.
2. How do I apply for Free or Reduced Meals?
• Apply online at https://www.myschoolapps.com
• Turn in application to Granite Nutrition Services at 4161 W 2200 So., WVC, 84120
3. Does the free or reduced-price application only qualify my child for free meals?
• No, students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals can also qualify for Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (PEBT), fee waivers, and much more.
4. If my family does not qualify for free meals, how much will my child be charged for meals?

Thank you for your continued patience and we look forward to serving your children and supporting their education!

Dana Adams, Director
