EZ Meal Application for Free/Reduced Meals
ORSD is asking that our students, both new and returning, complete the meal status application prior to September 26, 2019.
This application was provided in the student enrollment packet that was provided on the first day of school. A more convenient application is located online at the following link: https://secure.ezmealapp.com/ApplicationScreen.aspx
Your meal status is beneficial in two ways. 1. Free or reduced meal status provides a financial benefit to your family by reducing the cost of your child's meals at school if you qualify. 2. Free or reduced meal status provides federal funding for the education of our students.
ORSD is striving to provide our students with nutritious and delicious meals so they will be prepared to learn!
