How to apply for free and reduced-price meals at CCISD
Summary
Parent 101 walked parents through the online application at ccisd.net/studentmeals, outlined documents to have ready (Skyward ID/PIN for each student, EDG or last four of SSN), and said decisions take up to 10 operating days.
The presenter instructed families to apply online at ccisd.net/studentmeals using SchoolCafe, recommending they have each student's Skyward ID and PIN and the household EDG number ready. "No EDG number, then the last 4 digits of the signing adult's Social Security number plus last month's household income," the presenter said.
Families are directed to create an account or log in, connect each student with their ID and PIN, choose "apply for benefits," and complete the form; the presenter warned that incomplete applications cannot be processed. Decisions can take up to 10 operating days, and families pay full meal price until approved. The presenter also reminded families to reapply every school year because last year's approval expires after a short window.
For technical help or questions, the presenter provided childnutrition@ccisd.net and (281) 284-0700.
