Online Meal Applications are now LIVE and available for you to fill out for the current school year! The link is www.MySchoolApps.com you can search the district by zip code (80621 for all except Homyak 80514) or find the district in the drop down box.

The website is very user-friendly and can be completed on a smartphone. Parent/Gaurdian will only need to submit one application per household. In order to receive proper benefits, you will need to list everyone in the household and not just the adult filling out the application.
