Meal Applications

Meal Applications are required for the 2022-2023 School Year.

Determining Income Eligibility

The following income eligibility guidelines determine eligibility for free and reduced-price meals or free milk for the nutrition assistance programs administered by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA).

Eligibility may be based on the total income and size (i.e., number of household members) of a participant’s household. Children from households whose incomes are at or below the levels shown in the appropriate table are eligible for free or reduced-price meals. Suppose any member of the household receives Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) benefits. In that case, children are eligible for free meals.

Public Notice (English)

Roby Consolidated ISD announced its policy today that this school year, healthy meals will be offered every school day to all students at no cost. A student’s household must meet income eligibility requirements to qualify for free or reduced-price meals. However, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued guidance that allows schools to offer meals to all students at no cost for the 2021-2022 school year.

While no application or eligibility determination is required for your student to receive free meals this school year, income eligibility requirements will likely resume in the 2022-2023 school year. As such, Roby CISD will process household applications during School Year 2021-2022 to ensure student eligibility for free or reduced-price meals during the first 30 days of the 2022-2023 school year while 2022-2023 applications are being processed. Each school/site or the central office has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed upon request.

Starting on August 17, 2021, we will begin distributing letters to the households of the children in the district about these 2022-2023 eligibility benefits and the actions households need to take to apply. Applications also are available at 141 South College Street, P.O. Box 519, Roby, Texas 79543-0519.

Public Notice (Spanish)

Roby Consolidated ISD anunció hoy su política de que este año escolar, se ofrecerán comidas saludables todos los días escolares a todos los estudiantes sin costo alguno. Por lo general, el hogar de un estudiante debe cumplir con los requisitos de elegibilidad de ingresos para calificar para comidas gratis o a precio reducido. Sin embargo, el Departamento de Agricultura de los Estados Unidos (USDA) emitió una guía que permite a las escuelas ofrecer comidas a todos los estudiantes sin costo para el año escolar 2021-2022.

Si bien no se requiere una solicitud o determinación de elegibilidad para que su estudiante reciba comidas gratis este año escolar, los requisitos de elegibilidad de ingresos probablemente se reanudarán en el año escolar 2022-2023. Como tal, Roby CISD procesará las solicitudes de hogares durante el año escolar 2021-2022 para garantizar la elegibilidad de los estudiantes para recibir comidas gratuitas o de precio reducido durante los primeros 30 días del año escolar 2022-2023 mientras se procesan las solicitudes de 2022-2023. Cada escuela / sitio u oficina central tiene una copia de la política, que se puede revisar a pedido.

A partir del 17 de agosto de 2021 se comenzará a distribuir cartas a los hogares de los niños en el distrito sobre estos beneficios de elegibilidad para 2022-2023 y las acciones que los hogares deben tomar para presentar su solicitud. Las solicitudes también están disponibles en 141 South College Street, P.O. Box 519, Roby, Texas 79543-0519.
