Kent School District has been approved for the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program for the 2024-2025, 2025-2026, 2026-2027, and 2027-2028 school years districtwide. Breakfast and lunch meals (not a la cart items) are available at no cost for all students at all schools regardless of family or household income.

While meals will be offered at no cost, it is still important that families complete the Child Nutrition Eligibility & Education Benefit (CNEEB) application. By completing the CNEEB application which replaces the Family Income Survey, students and families may be eligible for additional benefits and schools can receive funding.

• Families may receive waived or decreased fees to participate in other school programs.

• Schools receive funding based on the number of free and reduced qualified applicants. By completing a free and reduced meal application, you help your school obtain funding.

We encourage families to complete an online application through MealAppNow because it only takes a few minutes and is the fastest, easiest way to get approved.
