If you have another child or other children not attending a CEP school and would like to apply for meal benefits you may complete a Free & Reduced Meal application. Follow the instructions below. All students will still need to purchase snacks or extra food items.
 
 
Children in your household not attending a CEP school:
If you have a child or children in your household attending a school other than one of the CEP schools listed above and would like to apply for meal benefits please complete a Free & Reduced Meal application for them.
