What Is Covered? Who to Contact With Questions?

Free & Reduced pricing can only be used when purchasing a whole meal. If your family qualifies for free or reduced meals and your child likes to bring a lunch from home, please know that if they only take a carton of milk (to go with their lunch from home) and not a whole meal, they will be charged $0.40 for the milk. 

Student lunch accounts must maintain a positive balance. You may deposit money for food service accounts online through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal, dropping off payments at your child's school office or at the district office, or by mailing your payment to:

Ripon Area School District
Attn: Registrar
PO Box 991
Ripon, WI 54971


Qualifying for Free Meals Can Help With School Fees

Students who qualify for Free Lunch will have some student fees waived as well. Please talk with your child's school office about those details as each school has different fees associated with the grade-level curriculum.
