Free & Reduced-Price Meals
Free and reduced-price meals are available to students that qualify. Benefits must be renewed each year. All families who wish to apply for free or reduced-price meals with the Sumner-Bonney Lake School District are encouraged to fill out a Child Nutrition Eligibility & Education Benefits (CNEEB) application at anytime during the school year.
A new application must be completed at the beginning of each school year. Applications are available at all school locations. Once an application is completed properly it will not be necessary to complete a new application during the school year.
Note: Students who qualify for reduced-price meals at all grade levels receive breakfast and lunch at no cost due to state funding. State funding also provides meals at no cost for all students at elementary schools that have 30% or more of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price meals. For the 2026-27 school year, breakfast and lunch will be free for all students at Bonney Lake, Crestwood, Daffodil Valley, Liberty Ridge and Maple Lawn elementary schools, and the Sumner Early Learning Center. Students at all other district schools will be charged the regular price for meals unless they qualify for free or reduced-price benefits.
Tips for successfully filling out the application
- List all children attending Sumner-Bonney Lake School District
- If receiving food stamps or TANF benefits list the case number in the space provided
- List all household members and their incomes (benefits are based on size of the household and combined income)
- Provide a signature, social security number, address and phone number
- Please fill out all forms in ink
Students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals or College Bound maybe eligible for waived or reduced fees to participate in extracurricular school programs. Find the form necessary for eligibility at sumnersd.org/waived fees.
