Students on Free status will receive all meals for free, per USDA guidelines.  The following is the cost for the meals of other students per day.  

Reduced (all grades)  $.70
Paid Pre K – 6 $4.10

Menu items included in the meals will be ready to eat, and others will be heat-and-serve items.

Parents/guardians who fill out the Remote Meal Waiver agree to pick up meals at selected site and times. Parents should also note that the carry over period for free and reduced meals for the 2020-2021 school year is Monday, October 14. The carry over period is the amount of time students are allowed by USDA to remain on the prior years’ meal status. In order to qualify for free or reduced meals, parents must complete a new free and reduced meal application every school year.

Students that were on free or reduced meal status during the 2019-2020 school year will revert to full paid status on Tuesday, October15 unless a new meal application is submitted and approved based on USDA eligibility guidelines.  

The online Free and Reduced Price Meal Applications are available for the 2020-2021 school year and can be accessed on our website at www.gckschools.com. Paper applications are available at the Educational Support Center at 1205 Fleming, but the online applications are by far the most accurate and efficient method to apply for Free or Reduced Priced Meals. On average, online applications are processed within 24-48 hour of completion. We highly encourage all parents to take advantage of this simple to use and fast process.

For more information regarding Free and Reduced Price Meal Applications please contact the Child Nutrition and Wellness Department at 620-805-7080, or by e-mail at trjohnson@gckschools.com.
