Free & Reduced Information

Woodridge School District 68 offers free and reduced-priced meals to those students whose family meets the income guidelines (table) posted by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). School meals meet the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and the School Breakfast Program (SBP) nutritional standards.

To see if your student qualifies for free or reduced-price school meals, a parent or guardian can submit an application via our district website. Please note, applications are not available before July 1st annually and are only valid for the current school year.

Some families automatically qualify through "direct certification" to receive free meal benefits based on information provided by the Illinois Department of Human Services and the Illinois State Board of Education. These families will be notified by the school district as they qualify during the school year. If a family currently receives food stamps (SNAP) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits, and has not been notified by the school district that they have been "direct certified", an application may need to be completed.  Contact your School Office or the Food Services Office for more information.
