Did you know that, although all students receive free meals this year, completing the Child Nutrition Eligibility & Education Benefit (CNEEB) application remains incredibly important?

This application is about so much more than meals. It's the key to unlocking vital funding and grants for our schools. Our eligibility for many programs is based on the number of families who qualify for free or reduced-price meals.

By taking less than 10 minutes to fill out the application, you are helping to fund programs and resources like:

• Extra support for students (paraeducators, tutoring)

• Robotics programs

• Counseling and nursing services

• Improvements to our schools (like the new Red Rock Playground!)

And it helps your student directly! Students who qualify may receive fee waivers or discounts for:

• SAT or AP exams

• Sports and activity fees

• College applications

Every single eligible form counts towards making our district more competitive for grants. This means more resources, programs, and opportunities for ALL students in Royal.

You can find the CNEEB Fillable application form on our school website: https://www.royalsd.org/cneeb or at any school. Please return it to your child's school or the district office.

Thank you for your partnership in making Royal School District the best it can be!
