Seeley Lake Elementary

As we gear up for this school year we want to make you aware of some changes in lunch costs for next year. The previous two years we were running under a federal waiver that allowed all students to receive free lunches. Unfortunately, this program isn’t continuing. Next year we will go back to charging for breakfast and lunch. Below is a link to the application for free and reduced meals. Filling this out can help determine if you qualify. It also helps the district receive other funding based off of your district’s free and reduced rate. Paper applications are also available at the office. Thanks! https://dca.opi.mt.gov/FRApp?sponsorNum=0597
