August 16, National School Free Lunch Program

Dear Oxford Parents/ Guardians,

 

We are pleased to inform you that Oxford Community Schools will be participating in the Seamless Summer Option as part of the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs for the School Year 2021-2022. This program allows ALL students enrolled in our district to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at NO CHARGE to your household each day.

However, if you have previously qualified for the Free and Reduced-Priced Meal program or think you would qualify this year, we still need your household to fill out and sign the Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application. The application can be completed either online at Lunchapp or the paper application may be printed, completed and returned to your child’s school in a sealed envelope addressed to Nutrition Services Director Patty Silorey.

This information is critical in determining the amount of money that our school receives from a variety of State and Federal supplemental programs like Title I A, At-risk (31a), Title II A, E-Rate, etc.

These supplemental programs have the potential to offer supports and services for our students including, but not limited to:

  • Instructional supports (staff, supplies & materials, etc.)
  • Non-instructional services (counseling, social work, health services, etc.)
  • Professional Learning for staff
  • Parent and Community engagement supplies and activities
  • Technology
  • Pandemic-EBT

We are asking that you please complete and submit it as soon as possible to ensure that additional funding for our school is available to meet the needs of our students. All information on the application submitted is confidential. Without your assistance in completing and returning the Free and Reduced Meal application, our school cannot maximize the use of available State and Federal funds.

If we can be of any further assistance, please contact us at 248-969-5167.

 

Sincerely,
Patty Silorey
Director of Nutrition Services
