Free and Reduced Meal Eligibility

To be eligible for free or reduced price meals and textbook rental fees, you must submit an application and the fee waiver form EACH SCHOOL YEAR. Complete online beginning in late July at the district website: https://www.ankenyschools.org/departments/nutrition-services/.

Please contact LeeAnna Vigor at leeanna.vigor@ankenyschools.org 515-965-9604 Ext 50811 before completing an application if:

  • You are enrolling a kindergarten student and another student in your household was eligible for free or reduced price meals the previous school year.
  • You have a student who is transferring from another school in Iowa and was eligible for free or reduced meals at that school. Eligibility does NOT automatically transfer.
  • The state of Iowa has placed a foster student in your care.

To be eligible for Free or Reduced Textbook Rental, a Free/Reduced Price Meal Application and the Ankeny Community School District Fee Waiver Form must be completed and approved on or before October 5, 2023. If not, unless a student is a new enrollee, full priced Textbook Rental Fees will be applicable for students in your household. PLEASE NOTE: If a fee waiver is applicable, it is only valid if completed and submitted within that eligible school year.
