Elementary Boundary Map

Every student should attend the school that serves the attendance area in which the student lives. Home schools are determined by the child's home address. 

Free/Reduced Applications

When the 2021-2022 school year ended, so did free meals for every student. While the federal government funded a program that allowed all students access to free meals during the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress recently declined to continue funding this program. This means all families will need to carry a positive balance in their children’s school meal accounts when school begins next fall.

The free and reduced meal application is needed by the District to determine families who qualify for free/reduced cost school meals, fee waivers, for the P-EBT program and for Federal funding and Title 1 services for our students. Families should complete it in one of the following ways beginning July 1, 2023:

  1. Use the Infinite Campus Parent Portal - click on Application/forms, follow the steps to process your Free & Reduced Application online and sign electronically. These instructions walk through the process. 
  2. Applications for 23-24 can be found on the Free and Reduced Meals page of this website after July 1. The application will need to be printed, signed and returned to the Central Administration Office, 109 North 25th Street, Fort Dodge, 50501, for approval.
  3. A hard copy of the Free and Reduced Meal application can be picked up at the Central Administration Office, 109 North 25th Street, Fort Dodge, after July 1.  Please contact the Food Service Department at 515-574-5677 or uroberts@fdschools.org to have a paper copy mailed to your address.

Forms can be returned in person or mailed to the address below.  For questions regarding the Free/Reduced Application, contact our food service department at the Central Office, 109 North 25th Street, at 515-574-5677 or uroberts@fdschools.org.
