Free and Reduced Meals (FARM)

At DCPS schools, students may automatically qualify for free meals through 'direct certification' which means the student or family meets one of the following criteria:

  • Students in households receive benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), or

  • Foster children that are under the legal responsibility of a foster care agency or court, or

  • Children who meet the definition of homeless, runaway, migrant status.

If your student does NOT meet the above qualifications and attends Hyde-Addison ES, then a Free And Reduced-price Meal (FARM) Application is required to qualify for free meals based on family income. If you need support filling out this application or have additional questions, please call 202-299-2159 or email food.dcps@k12.dc.gov.

More information about Free and Reduced Meals can be found here.
