• Dear Families of Middle School, Crossroads and Open Doors Academy Students, 

    Crossroads High School, Open Doors Academy, and Middle school students are participating in a federal program called Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) that is part of the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program. What this means is that all students attending Crossroads High, Open Doors Academy, and the Middle School are eligible to receive breakfast and lunch at no charge throughout the 2024-2025 school year, regardless of family or household income. 

    While income is not a consideration for students eating school meals at Crossroads High/Open Doors Academy, it is still vital we collect household information from all families. The information collected is needed to ensure that Granite Falls School District receives all the funding we are entitled to. 

    Thank you for completing this form.

    The Free & Reduced-Price Meal Application can be mailed to: Granite Falls School District, ATTN: Child Nutrition, 205 North Alder Avenue, Granite Falls, WA 98252 or emailed to ltipping@gfalls.wednet.edu or dropped off at the Middle School or Crossroads High/Open Doors Academy office. 

    Thank you for your help to provide this very important information that will ensure that Granite Falls School District will continue to receive state funding that is so important for educational programs. Questions or comments may be directed to Lynn Tipping at ltipping@gfalls.wednet.edu or by calling 360.283.4310.
