Waterloo Schools is participating in the United States Department of Agriculture’s Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) in all elementary, middle and high school buildings. The school district meets the reimbursement formula to qualify for no-cost breakfast and lunch. Pre-K students also will be offered an afternoon no-cost snack. Benefits for Students: Enjoy healthy meals at school at no cost Benefits for Families: No need to fill out a free and reduced lunch application Do not have to worry about refilling meal accounts or whether their child has an opportunity to eat at school Please note: Families will still be responsible for a la carte items, such as extra milk, extra entrées and extra side items. There are no standard instructional fees. Each household should have completed a household survey online. If you have not done so, please contact your child’s school. They can help walk you through the process. A household survey and fee waiver must be on file to determine status of free or reduced driver’s education or instrument rental. There will be costs associated with driver’s education and instrument rental if your child enrolls in one of those classes. Fee waiver forms will be available at your children’s school building. The waiver form will need to be completed along with the household survey form for determination of free or reduced fees. There will continue to be fees for lost books, ID cards, yearbooks. parking, etc. that apply to various schools. These fees are not subject to the Fee Waiver.
