• Families must reapply each year for free or reduced-price school meals—even if they qualified previously.

• Applications are available online at myschoolapps.com, with support available by phone at 850-301-3020.
The Okaloosa County School District is reminding families that the application window is now open for free and reduced-price school meals for the 2025–2026 academic year. These meal benefits are vital in supporting student health, focus, and educational success—and reapplying is essential, even for those who qualified last year.
Applications can be submitted at any time during the school year, but families with expiring benefits must apply by September 22, 2025, to avoid a lapse in coverage. The process is quick, confidential, and available online at myschoolapps.com. For help, families can call the district’s support line at 850-301-3020.
Nutritious meals aren’t just about food—they’re about fueling learning, supporting families, and strengthening schools. The district encourages all eligible households to apply and ensure their students have access to the resources they need to thrive.
