If your financial situation changes at anytime throughout a school year you can submit a Free & Reduced Price School Meals Family Application. 

If you are looking to have any fees waived, please know that you must qualify for free/reduced lunch and have completed the “Sharing Form” that was included in the Back to School Online Check In. 

The purpose of the Sharing Form is for the FPS District Office to request permission from families who would allow us to share that sensitive information with other particular departments or schools whereby that status may also help in other circumstances.  Examples of this may include sharing your information with our schools to help with waiving fees or the high school student services office for the purpose of scholarships or college bound assistance.  

This form needs to be completed yearly after August 1st.  Once approved, you will be notified. Please direct any questions regarding free/reduced lunch or fee waivers to FPS Auxiliary Services Coordinator Heidi Engel (414-525-7634).

Franklin Public Schools Food Service Department participates in the National School Lunch Program.

We receive some federal funds to supplement our self-funded department.

Our lunches are nutritious and well balanced staying within the federal guidelines of the meal program.

Each school has a production kitchen where the food is prepared daily for that school.
