New Meal App Available for Parents

The Child Nutrition Department of Pittsburg ISD now offers Meal App Now by Systems Design. The Meal App Now program allows parents to apply for free and reduced meals via the internet.

The Food Services Department is now accepting applications for the free & reduced lunch program. Parents/Guardians can apply online or complete a paper application (available in the campus office), but do not need to do both. Upon completion of either application a letter detailing approval or denial of benefits will be sent to the address on file for the student. Online applications are processed daily.

Depending upon the circumstances of your household, you will need your student’s ID number and birth date, TANF/SNAP eligibility number and household income. The site is secured with an extended validation secure sockets layer (ssl) certificate and all data is private and used only for meal application process.
