  • Free and Reduced Lunch: Champaign Unit 4 parents can go to the Food Service page on the District's website to access the new online free and reduced applications. The free and reduced applications must be filled out for students to receive fee waivers.  New applications must be filled out each school year. Parents who received a letter from Food Service stating they were on the Direct Certification list do not have to fill out a new free and reduced application and fees will be waived. Parents can also check the status of the application 24-48 hours after completion, whether they are free, reduced, or denied and can print the status page for their records.  This is days to weeks earlier than notification in the past. We would like to strongly encourage parents to use the online application before registration so they can avoid lines at the food service table during the school enrollment dates in the coming weeks. Please feel free to contact Food Service Director Mary Davis with any questions at davisma@champaignschools.org, 351-3852.
