MEAL APPLICATION
All students qualify for FREE meals in the 2023-24 school year! However, application submission is still strongly encouraged.
While breakfast and lunch meals are free to all students, we do ask that all parents/families fill out a Meal Application for their household. This form benefits not only the school district but can potentially be used for discounted local programs, AP testing fee waivers, college application waivers, and Pandemic-Electronic Benefits Transfer.
For the new 2023-24 school year, we will continue to use LINQ Connect (formally known as Family Titan Portal), which works in conjunction with our AERIES student information system. This means that along with having the ability to view your student's grades, homework, and school information, you will also have access to view and manage your student's meal account information. You will also be able to make payments and apply for free and reduced-price meal benefits all from a convenient link in your Aeries Portal! If you have not already done so, you can create a LINQ Connect online account to have access to your student’s meal purchase and payment history. If you have previously setup a Titan Family Portal account, you do not need to create a new acoutn with LINQ Connect, all your information will be transferred to the new site for your convenience. LINQ Connect has an app available to both Apple and Android users, scan QR code below to download.

The meal application process is federally mandated and the Food Services Division must follow all applicable regulations in order to continue to receive reimbursement funds. Each year the California Department of Education, Nutrition Services Division, must approve our meal application. Once approved, we begin the annual process of qualifying students for free and reduced meal benefits. Please click on the link below and complete ONE application for your entire household, once you've completed and signed the meal application you can send it into the school office, cafeteria staff or deliver it directly to the Nutrition Services Office at 2455 Carmichael Drive, Chico behind Cal Skate.
