Eating healthy school meals has numerous benefits for your child/children. Yet, many eligible families do not take the few simple steps to complete the application and take advantage of these benefits. Don’t miss out on the chance to help your child/children do better in school and achieve their dreams!

At Claremore Public Schools, we do everything possible to ensure that students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals:

  • Feel no social stigma for applying to the program.

  • They are treated & greeted the same at the cash register as any other student.

  • They are not singled out in any way to ensure their complete anonymity.

  • Can be confident that all information is kept completely confidential.

Be sure to follow the instructions carefully and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Child Nutrition office at 918-923-4243. We look forward to serving your students!

My School App - Educational Benefit Program - More Than Just A Meal

Apply for your Educational Benefits online with total confidentiality. Please complete the application to help the school save money on testing, college applications, technology, etc. Last year the results of this form saved the school over $300K in technology fees, which we were able to be reinvested into our school sites, curriculum, and programs for all students. This is COMPLETELY CONFIDENTIAL.

Filling out the Educational Benefits Application is quick and easy. We have several ways an application can be accessed and completed.

  • For an online application, go to your new Infinite Campus Parent Portal > More > Meals Benefits.

    • If you have not created a Parent Portal account, you will need to do that first. 

  • Applications can be printed from the links below.

  • An application can be picked up at the Child Nutrition Office or Enrollment Office at 101 W 11th

    Street.
