School Meal Program FAQ

In accordance with state and federal law, John Adams Academy participates in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and the School Breakfast Program (SBP). The state of California requires all public schools to participate in the Universal Meal Program, where all children are provided meals, free of charge, regardless of family income.

However, the Academy’s school funding is still tied to the percentage of scholars who qualify for free and reduced meal pricing based on completed meal applications. Because this helps us determine our funding, every John Adams Academy family is encouraged to fill out a free and reduced meal application regardless of whether they qualify or not. Please submit your application on your Infinite Campus Parent Portal. 

You can find School Meal Program information on the website under the Families tab on the main navigation bar.  Select Academy Nutrition Services.  

Breakfast and lunch will be served each day school is in session.

We encourage all parents to complete and submit a meal application. Meal applications must be completed yearly.

In addition to potential benefits to families, the state uses completed meal applications to determine funding for John Adams Academy.  A portion of our funding as a public school is significantly affected by accurately qualifying families that are eligible for benefits. If there is any chance you may qualify for benefits, completing the application helps the Academy to ensure our funding levels are accurate.

Anyone completing a meal application must enter a correct household income and select the appropriate pay frequency for the amount you entered.  If you do not enter an income amount, the system will see that as zero and will qualify you for benefits.  The information listed in the form is confidential and not used for any other purpose.  Please also ensure that you are selecting the appropriate campus for your scholar.

Again, we encourage all families to fill out an application form, every year, as a portion of our funding as a public school is significantly affected by accurately qualifying families that are eligible for benefits. Even if you do not receive benefits, your determination helps us to calculate our percentages.  Titan allows you the easiest, most expedient way to qualify for free or reduced benefits.
