The 2018-19 Free and Reduced Meal application for Lawton Public Schools is now available. The application must be renewed yearly no matter the previous year’s status.
\r\n“We encourage everyone to fill out the School Meal application,” said Steve Dyer, LPS director of child nutrition. “This not only determines if you qualify for the free or reduced school meal, but also helps with funding in many other areas at the school your child attends.”\r\n
\r\nApplications are accessible online through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal – https://campus.lawtonps.org/campus/portal/lawton.jsp.
\r\nBy using the portal, parents will have the ability to view account balances, student purchases, file an online application or add funds to their student’s lunch account. Currently, the online payment portion is not active. Once it is live, it will be located on the Child Nutrition page: Child Nutrition
\r\nParents that have not set up their Parent Portal account will need to verify with the school that the correct email address is on file. This can be done during Check-In August 1-6th. Paper applications will also be available at that time.\r\n
\r\n“Since you only need to do one application per household, we encourage [parents] to utilize the online application process which will expedite and streamline the application,” said Dyer.\r\n
\r\nLawton Public Schools will continue to offer free breakfast to all Lawton Public School students.
