Trinity High School
Free Lunch Program
2024-25 School Year
July, 2024
ALL STUDENTS EAT FREE in 2024-2025
Trinity High School is pleased to inform you that we will be implementing a new option available to schools participating in the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs (NSLP) called Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for the 2024-2025 school year.
This is great news for you and your student(s)! ALL enrolled Trinity High School students are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school for NO CHARGE each day of the upcoming school year. No further action is required of you. Your child(ren) will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit an application.
IMPORTANT: WHAT QUALIFIES AS A FREE BREAKFAST OR LUNCH?
For your child’s meal to be FREE, they MUST take 2 of the 3 components for breakfast and 3 of the 5 components for lunch. For lunch, they MUST take a fruit or vegetable. If the food items taken do not meet these requirements, they will be CHARGED a la carte prices against their cafeteria account. If the student wants more food, those items will also be charged to their EZSchoolPay cafeteria account.
CASHLESS CAFETERIA LINE through EZSCHOOLPAY
Trinity uses a cashless cafeteria line. Parents will load money to a cafeteria account for their child and the student will scan their school ID in the cafeteria line to pay for their a la carte food items. Students are required to scan their ID for free meals, too. Students will be given a temporary Cafeteria ID with barcode on the first day of school or they can use the barcode in their PowerSchool mobile app until their school IDs are distributed in September.
Parents may submit a cash or check payment to the school business office and those funds will be loaded to your child’s lunch account within 24-hours. If you prefer to pay with a credit card, parents may create an account on EZSchoolPay to add money yourself, however, there is a $2.75 service charge if you use this portal.
Families with multiple students can have their accounts linked so all children may utilize one set of cafeteria funds, eliminating the process of loading funds for each child separately. If you would like your children linked, please contact Ms. Sandy Fritsch in the school business office, [email protected] or 216-581-5751. Please provide the names of all children you want linked together.
