Dear Parent/Guardian:
Children need healthy meals to learn. Sanger ISD offers healthy meals every school day. Breakfast costs $1.60; lunch costs
$2.85 at CTE, CCI and BES and $3.00 at SGC, SMS and SHS. Your children may qualify for free meals or for reduced-
price meals. Reduced-price is $0.30 for breakfast and $0.30 for lunch. If you received a notification letter that a child is
directly certified for free or reduced-price meals, do not complete an application. Let the school know if any children in the
household attending school are not listed in the letter.
The questions and answers that follow and attached directions provide additional information on how to complete the
application. Complete only one application for all the students in the household and return the completed application to
your child's campus office, cafeteria manager or Sanger ISD Administration Office, 601 Elm Street, Sanger, TX 76266. If you
have questions about applying for free or reduced-price meals, contact Paige Hachmeister, 940-458-7438.

program to students that are 3
years of age on or before

Sanger ISD, Child Nutrition Director
• Record the amount of income the adult receives
under the type of income: Working Earnings; Public
Assistance/Child Support/Alimony; Pensions/
Retirement/Social Security/ Supplemental Security
Income (SSI); and All Other.
Report all amounts in gross income only and in whole dollars.
Gross income is the total income received before taxes or
deductions. Ensure that the income reported has not been
reduced by the amounts deducted for taxes, insurance
premiums, or any other purpose. The Adult Income Information
Bax provides additional information on the types of income
that need to be reported. Foster children may be included as a
member of the household or may be included on a separate
application.
Write a 0 in any field where there is no income to report. If you
write 0 or leave any fields blank, you are certifying (promising)
that there is no income to report. If local officials have known
or available information that the household income was
reported incorrectly, the application will be verified for cause.
• Circle how often each type of income is received
(frequency).
W = Weekly
E = Every 2 Weeks
T = Twice per Month
M = Monthly
A = Annually
Part D. Income for Children in the Household
• Record total income for all children by how often
income is received (frequency).
Record adult income in Part C.
Record the income of children individually under the frequency
indicating how often the income is received.
The Child Income Information Box (on the right) provides
additional information on the types of income that needs to be
reported for children in the household.
Step 3: Provide Contact Information and Adult Signature.
• Read the certification statement.
• Write your current address and contact information in the space
provided. Sharing a phone number, email address, or both is
optional, but helps us reach you quickly if we need to contact you.
If you have no permanent address, this does not make your children ineligible
for free or reduced-price school meals.
• Print the name of the adult signing the form, sign the form, and
record today's date in the appropriate spaces.
All applications must be signed by an adult household member. By signing the
application, the household member is promising that all information has been
truthfully and completely reported. Before completing this section, please read
the privacy and civil rights statements on the back of the application.
Step 4: Return the Application.
• Return the application to your child's campus office, cafeteria manager or the Sanger ISD Administration
Office, 601 Elm Street, Sanger, TX 76266.
• WIC Recipient—Children in households participating
in WIC may be eligible for free or reduced-price meals.
2. What If I Disagree With the School's Decision About
My Application? Talk to school officials. You also may
ask for a hearing by calling or writing to Deputy
Superintendent, 940-458-7438, 601 Elm Street, Sanger,
TX 76266.
3. My Child's Application Was Approved Last Year. Do I
Need To Fill Out A New One? Yes. An application is
only good for that school year and for the first few days
of this school year. Send in a new application unless the
school has told you that your child is eligible for the
new school year.
6. We Are in The Military. Do We Report Our Income
Differently? Basic pay and cash bonuses must be
reported as income. Any cash value allowances for off-
base housing, food, or clothing, or Family Subsistence
Supplemental Allowance payments count as income. If
housing is part of the Military Housing Privatization
Initiative, do not include the housing allowance as
income. Any additional combat pay resulting from
deployment is excluded from income.
7. May I Apply If Someone in My Household Is Not a U.S.
Citizen? Yes. You, your children, or other household
members do not have to be U.S. citizens to apply for
free or reduced-price meals.
8. Will Application Information Be Checked? Yes. We
may also ask you to send written proof of the reported
household income.
9. My Family Needs More Help. Are There Other
Programs We Might Apply For? To find out how to
apply for other assistance benefits, contact your local
assistance office or 2-1-1.
4. If I Don't Qualify Now, May I Apply Later? Yes. Apply
at any time during the school year. A child with a
parent or guardian who becomes unemployed may
become eligible for free and reduced-price meals if the
household income drops below the income limit.
5. What If My Income Is Not Always the Same? List the
amount normally received. If a household member lost
a job or had hours/wages reduced, use current income.

Directions for Applying For Free and Reduced-Price School Meals
Please use these instructions to complete the free or reduced-price school meals application. Submit one application
per household, even if the children in the household attend more than one school in Sanger ISD. Please use a pen (not
a pencil) when completing the application. The application must be filled out completely in order for the school to
make a determination if the children in your household qualify for free or reduced-price school meals. An incomplete
application cannot be approved. Please contact Paige Hachmeister, 940-458-7438 with your questions.
Step 1: List All Household Members Who Are Infants, Children, And Students Up to and Including Grade 12.
• List each child's name.
Print first name, middle initial, and last name for each child in thehousehold in the spaces. If there are more children than lines, use
the back of the application to record additional names.
Include all household members who are age 18 or under and are supported with the household's income including children who are
not enrolled in the district. Children do NOT have to be related to anyone in the household to be a part of the household.
• Mark the box following the child's name to show if the child is a student in the Sanger ISD.
• Record the child's grade if the child is in school.
• Check the appropriate box if a child qualifies for free meals as participant in the foster care system,
Head Start (including Early Head Start or Even Start) program or if a child meets the criteria for
homeless, migrant, or runaway.
Checking Foster indicates that a foster care agency or court has placed the child in your home. If the application is being submitted
for foster children only, complete Step 1, skip Step 2, and complete Step 3.
Participation in a Categorical Program
If all children in the household are participants in one of the following programs—Foster, Head Start,
Homeless, Migrant, or Runaway, skip Step 2 and complete Step 3.
SNAP, TANF, and FDPIR: Do any household members (including you) currently participate in one or
more of the following assistance programs: SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR?
If a child or adult in the household participates in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Temporary Assistance to
Needed Families (TANF), record the Eligibility Determination Group (EDG) number in the space.
If a child or adult in the household is a participant in Food Distribution Program for Households on Indian Reservations (FDPIR),
check the box to indicate participation. The Sanger ISD will contact you to obtain documentation of FDPIR participation.

Step 2: Report Income for All Household Members.
Part A. Total Household Members
• Record the total number of children and adults in
the household in the appropriate box.
This number MUST be equal to the number of household

determines thehousehold eligibility.

of an Adult Household Member
• Provide the last four digits of the Social Security
number (SSN) of an adult in the household or

household and does not receive any income. Do not include adults that are not supported by the household's income and do
not contribute income to the household.
