NCSD Free or Reduced-Price Meals Application 2025-2026!

August 4, 2025

Families may qualify for free or reduced-price meals through the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program. We encourage families who are interested to complete the application. 

To determine if a household qualifies, families can complete an online application at natronaschools.org, or they may stop by their child's school or the NCSD Central Services office to fill out a paper application. Only one application per household needs to be completed. 

As a reminder, families may apply for the Free and Reduced-Price Meals by completing the application at any time throughout the school year.

In addition, you may track your student’s meal account by going to www.myschoolbucks.com. Please note: MySchoolBucks has a transaction fee that is specific to the company and is not managed or received by NCSD.

Additional information on NCSD Food Service and the Family Application for Free and Reduced-Price Meals for the upcoming school year can be found here.
