Changes to Basic Food Program Allow More Families to Qualify

The Bellingham School District is partnering with the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) to help distribute important information to families in the district. More students will be eligible for free meals at school because more families will qualify for Basic Food (Food Stamps).

As of Oct. 1, the income eligibility for Basic Food (formerly Food Stamps) will significantly increase.

If your family has typically not qualified for food stamps because your family income was too high, you may now qualify. If your family qualifies, your school-aged children will automatically be enrolled in the schools' free meal program for the rest of the school year. A family with two children eating school lunch every day could save $1,000 in lunch costs over the course of the school year. Other benefits include reduced Associated Student Body (ASB) fees, athletic fees, and club memberships for the Bellingham Boys & Girls Club and Bellingham Parks and Recreation.

All applications must be returned to the DSHS office, 4101 Meridian St., Bellingham. Please call toll-free at 1-877-514-3663 with any questions.

Save Fuel and $$$: If Your Child Will Ride the Bus, Make It Count from Oct. 6-10
The Bellingham School District will count children who ride our school buses during the week of Oct. 6-10. The transportation funding that we receive from Washington State for the entire school year is determined by the number of students who ride the bus to school for a minimum of three mornings (or mid-day to kindergarten) during this designated week. The state does not provide funding based on afternoon ridership. This funding is essential to help pay for your child's transportation to and from school throughout the school year. Thank you for your support.

* Start times may vary - if they do, the correct time will be noted in the schedule.
