School Lunch Application
Online Free and Reduced Application. Before you begin…there are a few things you should know.
If you received a letter from the school saying that your children were automatically approved (directly certified) for free meals for the 2022-2023 school year because someone in your household participates in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR), then you do not need to submit an application. We need only one application for all children in your household that attend school in Flour Bluff ISD.

Breakfast & Lunch Analysis
School Year 2024
Examining the breakfast and lunch preferences of students offers crucial insights into their nutritional habits and potential impact on cognitive function and academic performance. Assessing the variety, nutrient density, and timing of these meals can shed light on how well students are fueling their bodies and brains for optimal learning. This analysis can inform educational institutions’ efforts to provide well-balanced meal options that support students’ physical and mental well-being throughout the school day.
