Dear Ringgold Parents/Guardians,

The USDA has extended waivers allowing school districts to continue to offer free meals to all enrolled students. We are pleased to inform you that the Ringgold School District will be participating in this program throughout the 2021-2022 school year.  

All enrolled students of the Ringgold School District will receive one lunch and one breakfast for free, regardless of their meal benefit status. Please note: charges will be applied to your student(s) lunch account for any additional breakfasts, lunches, and/or a la carte items that are purchased each day. Student’s accounts must reflect a positive balance, or students must have cash, in order for any additional purchases to be made.

Although, all enrolled students will be receiving free meals this school year, we are encouraging qualifying families to fill out an application for free/reduced meal benefits by visiting www.schoolcafe.com. P-Ebt and other benefits are based on a student’s free/reduced status, if an application is not submitted, the student will default to “paid” status, unless they are Direct Certification, and will miss receiving these benefits. If you receive a Notice of Direct Certification for free meals, you do not need to complete an application.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Food Service office using the information listed below.
