As the federal government shutdown continues, Summit Academy Schools recognizes that some families may be facing unexpected financial challenges.

To help ensure that all students have access to healthy meals during the school day, families whose current income may now qualify for meal benefits are encouraged to apply for free or reduced-cost school meals.

Applications can be completed online anytime at https://summit.uose-dcs.org and login under your parent account and select the Free/Reduced Meal Application tab on the right-hand side. Families may also request a paper application from their child's school or you can visit the website https://www.summitacademyschools.org/main/applications-forms and select the Free & Reduced Lunch tab. The application reflects your household’s financial situation at the time of submission, and families are welcome to apply whenever there is a change in income, such as during a furlough or reduction in work hours.

nce approved, meal benefits remain in effect for the entire school year, even if your household’s financial circumstances improve later on. Families who no longer wish to use this benefit may contact the Summit Academy Food & Nutrition Services Department at 801-572-9007, though it is not required.

To apply, visit https://summit.usoe-dcs.org and login using your parent account and select the Free/Reduced Meal Application.

For questions or assistance, please contact the Food & Nutrition Services Department at 801-572-9007.
