Applications for Free and Reduced Meals are available electronically and by paper application for this school year.  Both the paper and electronic applications can be found in your parent portal, along with directions for completing.  If you have multiple students, please make sure to link their Realtime accounts so all students in the household can receive benefits.  Please note: a new application must be submitted each school year to receive free or reduced-price meal benefits.  Paper applications can be sent to your student's school. If you need assistance with printing or completing your application, please contact Tracy Shatzel @ 973-663-5782 x 5010.

Students receiving free or reduced priced meals in the 2025-2026 school year will have until October 15, 2026 to complete an application for the 2026-2027 school year before their benefits expire.  After this date, students without a current-year approved application on file will be removed from the program and required to pay full price for breakfast and/or lunch.  Applications are accepted throughout the entire school year.

If you have questions about the application process, please contact:
