Student Meal Fees and EZpay Update
Dear Edgewood Families,
The following are essential reminders concerning student school meals:
If your child will be buying breakfast and/or lunch, you can now go on EZpay and apply funds to your child’s account so that you are ready for the first day of school. The EZ pay link can be found HERE or on the Edgewood District website.
The United States Department of Agriculture did NOT extend the food service program waivers for 2022-2023 that were implemented as part of the nation’s COVID-19 response that provided free breakfast and lunch for students. Therefore, in order for students to receive free or reduced-priced meals during the 2022-2023 school year, families need to complete the online application and qualify. Even though you may have not qualified in the past, new income guidelines are now in place. Applications are currently being accepted and can be submitted @ www.lunchapplication.com
If you completed an application for the Free & Reduced Meals and Fee Waiver Program BEFORE July 1, 2022, you will need to resubmit your application. Applications for the 2022-2023 school year became effective July 1 and after.
For those who have not applied, or want more information before applying, we have included the income eligibility chart on the Food Services page of our website to assist you in making that decision. The Food Services page can be found here.
If you have already declined the application in Final Forms and now wish to apply, you can go back to Final Forms and complete only that section if the rest of your child’s information is already updated. You can also use the link provided below to complete the application process.
You will need your child’s School ID Number. Please contact your child’s school if you do not have your child’s School ID Number and you intend to apply. They should be able to get that number for you.
We have received some paper copies already. If you submit your application by paper, please remember to complete Part 6 of the application and include your signature. Incomplete applications cannot be processed and you may experience delays in processing as applications are returned for completion.
Approval of the “Reduced Price” status allows for Lunch to be received for $0.40 and Breakfast for $0.30 regardless of grade level or building. There is no reduction in school fees should you qualify for reduced-priced meals.
Meal Prices 2022-2023
Breakfast $1.50 All buildings
Lunch – Edgewood Primary, Edgewood Intermediate, Edgewood Early Childhood Center $3.00
Lunch - Edgewood Middle & High School $3.25

June PD Experience at Edgewood
Teachers at Edgewood are giving up some of their summer to learn more about Edgewood’s K-5 Language Arts Pilot for the 2022-2023, the curriculum being used, and the science of reading. When asked about giving up this beautiful summer day, Sarah Fryman, teacher at EIS stated, “It is a complete shift from skills based to knowledge based instruction.” She excitedly talked about the teaching of skills that will be embedded in the knowledge based learning providing examples. “We’ve been doing book studies all year and this summer,” she explained. This was done in preparation for the change in instructional theory. Snipits of professional learning took place despite the challenges of COVID as new elements in the PreK-5 Language Arts Curriculum have been introduced over the past three years. “If adopted, CKLA/Amplify will complete the K-5 Language Arts curriculum in the district to align our instructional practices more completely with the science of reading” commented Scott Fussnecker.
MidPointe Library Trenton will be having summer lunch at Home Ave Park this summer. Due to Congress not extending the COVID-19 waivers, we are unable to have it at the Library this year.
Here are the highlights:
Kids eat free lunch at Home Ave. Park (210 West Home Ave, Trenton, OH 45067).
Open to all kids through age 18.
Lunch must be eaten on the premises.
June 6th - August 5th (Monday-Friday, no serve time on Monday, July 4th)
Serve time: 11:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Look for the MidPointe van at one of the shelters.
Program will be moved in the event of bad weather-check MidPointe's social media for updates.
The lunch will be shelf-stable, so nothing that would require heating or cooling.
