Free and Reduced Price Lunch ApplicationParents/guardians who may qualify for Free and Reduced Meal prices are required to complete a
Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application in order to be eligible. Free and Reduced Meal prices afford several district and external benefits for students.
Parents can complete the Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application online through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal under the ‘More’ tab at
http://portal.swcsd.us. Paper applications are also available in all school buildings and at the Food Services Department.
Your child’s application is only good for one school year and the first few days of the start of the next school year. Thus, applications must be completed
every year. More information is available
here.

Due to this Federal change, all meals will return to full pay for the 2022-2023 school year. Households may qualify for free or reduced-price meals by completing a free and reduced-price meal application.
