If you think your student qualifies for FREE OR REDUCED MEALS, please complete the application ASAP. Even if you were approved last year, you must reapply every school year.  The quickest way to have your application reviewed is to apply online at https://www.seattleschools.org/departments/culinary-services/free-and-reduced-price-meals/. We also have printed forms in the Main Office.

Start of School Packets:  These will be going home to families in paper form sometime the first 3 days of school. Please ask your student for it because they may forget to give it to you. There are stapled forms that need to be signed and returned as soon as possible. Also, the neon green checklist notes that the online student verification form is available through the Source for one parent/guardian to update/make corrections before September 30th. Once it’s been updated/reviewed, no further changes can be made using the online form. An electronic start of school packet email will also go out the first week of school. We are using both methods at Nathan Hale to increase response from families. Many of the forms are translated into different languages, please let the office know if you need forms in your language nathanhale@seattleschools.org.
