We’re excited to share some great news: Thanks to a new law, breakfast will now be free for all students starting this fall!
We’re also working toward an even bigger goal—making lunch free for every student, regardless of income. But to get there, we need your help.
Whether or not you believe your family qualifies, we are asking every household to complete and return the Free & Reduced Lunch Application. This information helps determine whether our district qualifies for additional state and federal funding that could allow us to offer free lunch to all students as early as the 2026–2027 school year.
We understand that not every family will qualify, but your completed application still matters. The number of returned applications directly impacts our ability to expand access to free meals in the future.
Remember, your provided information is kept confidential and only one application needs to be filled out per family. Below is the link to our online application:

If you choose to complete a paper application, those can be turned in to any campus office.
If you need any assistance with the application process please contact Robin Capps at 479-736-2263 or Robin’s email address is rcapps@gentrypioneers.com.
Please keep in mind that while we can’t guarantee free lunch for the 2026–2027 school year, the more applications we receive, the better our chances. Thank you for supporting our students and helping us move closer to providing free meals for all. GO PIONEERS!
