Free & Reduced Meal Program

  • Important Announcement:  2025-2026 Meal Application will be available soon!

    Dear Parents/Guardians,
    • Please note that the USDA will not be providing free meals this year.
    • We encourage all families to complete the meal application in the Parent Portal as soon as possible.
    • If you receive a Direct Certification letter in August, DO NOT fill out an application.  
    • If you completed a meal application in the 2024-25 school year and your child(ren) qualified for free or reduced meals as of June, a new application is still required for the 2025-26 school year. 
    • Please note that you will be charged for your child(ren)’s meals if you do not complete an application or you do not qualify based on income.

     If you require any assistance or have any questions regarding the application process, please do not hesitate to contact our dedicated support team at 973-470-2275 or email nslp@cliftonschools.net.  We are here to help you throughout the process.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.  Your participation in the Free & Reduced Meal Program helps us support the nutritional needs of all students.
