Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year!

REMINDER: Applications Required

Important changes have been made at the federal level to the Free and Reduced Meals Program. For Milford Schools families, this means a return to pre-pandemic operations. Parents, guardians and caregivers will be able to complete these forms beginning August 1 using QuikApps as part of the PaySchools parent portal. 

Parents may apply for Free/Reduced meals (or re-apply if their economic situation changes) at any time throughout the school year at Payschoolscentral.com, or you can obtain a paper application from your child’s school. Please keep in mind that any charges that occur prior to the approval of an application will be the responsibility of the parent to pay.

Families are required to complete and submit a current school year free/reduced meal application if they would like to see if their students qualify based on income or category eligibility. The first 30 days of the school year will carry over the meal status from 22-23 school year. School meals are offered to all students, unless you mark restrictions in the parent portal of your payschools’ account. Any negative balances accrued are the responsibility of the parent to pay during that school year.

Please remember to mark the fee waiver portion of the application or return your Direct Certification paper filled out!!!! ****Please apply quickly as approved applications cannot be backdated to cover charges made prior to the approval.  

**New this year...The Ohio Budget Bill will fully subsidize meals for students who qualify as "reduced" but not "free". This means that a student's breakfast (of applicable) and lunch will be provided at no cost. Please note that if a child requests a second meal, it will not be covered as part of the program. 

If you have questions with the process or application, please contact Kim Gregory in Nutrition Services at 513-576-4160.

Updated Allergy Forms for the '23-'24 School Year

Non-Life Threatening Allergy Form

Life-Threatening Allergy Form

According to USDA, for substitutions in the national meal programs, an allergy form must be turned in to our office annually. A life threatening allergy form will need a physician signature ANNUALLY, however, non life threatening allergies, cultural or religious forms can be submitted to our office with a parent or guardian signature and will remain on your child's account until a Dietary Note Removal form has been submitted. All forms may be emailed to Elora Edwards at edwards_e@milfordschools.org.
