Urbandale Community School District: Free Meals For All Students Throughout The 2021-22 School Year

Press release from the Urbandale Community School District:

August 7, 2021

Urbandale Community Schools elected to participate in the Seamless Summer Option (SSO) allowing us to provide a free breakfast and a free lunch to all students enrolled in UCSD throughout the 2021-2022 school year! You’re welcome to complete the online Iowa Eligibility Application included below (note: the Iowa Eligibility Application is also known as the Free and Reduced Meal Application and must be completed on an annual basis). Only one Iowa Eligibility Application per household is required. Families are asked to complete the Iowa Eligibility Application form as your free or reduced status can impact fees for books & materials, driver’s education, bussing costs, and other district services. Please know, while meals (breakfast and lunch) are free this school year, any à la carte items such as milk, chips, cookies, etc. will still require payment to purchase.

Student Fee Waiver

If your child(ren) qualifies for free and reduced meals per the Iowa Eligibility Application, they may also be eligible for other benefits such as reduced fees for books & materials, driver’s education, bussing, and other district services. In order to receive these additional benefits, make sure you complete the waiver portion that is included within the Iowa Eligibility Application (linked above). If you already completed the Iowa Eligibility Application, but did not complete the waiver, you can complete the waiver separately by using this form: 2021-2022 Application for Waiver of Confidentiality and School Fees
