Free & Reduced Information

Do the members of your household lack a permanent address? Are you staying together in a shelter, hotel, or other temporary housing arrangement? Does your family relocate on a seasonal basis? Are any children living with you who have chosen to leave their prior family or household? If you believe children in your household meet these descriptions and have not been told your children will get free meals, please call or e-mail

Dan Halvorsen Director of Student Support Services at 262-946-2354 or emailing:

No. Use one Free and Reduced Price School Meals Application for all students in your household. We cannot approve an application that is not complete, so be sure to fill out all required information. Return the completed application to:

School District of Menomonee Falls School Nutrition Department,

N80 W14350 Titan Dr

Menomonee Falls, WI 53051.

No, but please read the letter you got carefully and follow the instructions.

If any children in your household were missing from your eligibility notification, contact School District of Menomonee Falls School Nutrition Department, Attn:  Call the School Nutrition office at 262-250-6489 or email: schoolnutrition@sdmfschools.org immediately.

If your household has automatically qualified for reduced meals based on Medicare, we encourage you to complete an application to potentially qualify for free meals based on household size and income.

If your child attends a school that participates in CEP,receipt of free breakfast and lunch meals does not depend on returning this application. However, this information is necessary for other programs and may be used to determine if your household is eligible for additional benefits

Yes. Your child’s application is only good for that school year and for the first few days of the next school year. You must send in a new application unless the school told you that your child is eligible for the new school year. If you do not send in a new application that is approved by the school or you have not been notified that your child is eligible for free meals, your child will be charged the full price for meals.

Children in households participating in WIC may be eligible for free or reduced price meals. Please send in an application.

Yes. We may also ask you to send written proof of the household income you report.

You should talk to school officials.

You also may ask for a hearing by calling or writing to:

Caitlin Windler, Director of Finance & Operations at the School District of Menomonee Falls Administrative Offices at W156 N8480 Pilgrim Road, Menomonee Falls, WI 53051

or by emailing: windcai@sdmfschools.org or by calling direct 262-255-8440.

Yes. You, your children, or other household members do not have to be U.S. citizens to apply for free or reduced price meals.

List the amount that you normally receive. For example, if you normally make $1000 each month, but you missed some work last month and only made $900, put down that you made $1000 per month. If you normally get overtime, include it, but do not include it if you only work overtime sometimes. If you have lost a job or had your hours or wages reduced, use your current income.

Household members may not receive some types of income we ask you to report on the application, or may not receive income at all. Whenever this happens, please write a 0 in the field. However, if any income fields are left empty or blank, those will also be counted as zeroes. Please be careful when leaving income fields blank, as we will assume you meant to do so.

Your basic pay and cash bonuses must be reported as income. If you get any cash value allowances for off-base housing, food, or clothing, it must also be included as income. However, if your housing is part of the Military Housing Privatization Initiative, do not include your housing allowance as income. Do not include any combat pay resulting from deployment as income.

List any additional household members on a separate piece of paper and attach it to your application.

To find out how to apply for FoodShare or other assistance benefits, contact your local assistance office or call 1-800-362-3002.

Yes, we can, but you'll need to provide permission first. Please fill out and send in this form to allow us to do so.
