Family Income Survey

Are you Eligible for Free and Reduced Eligibility Status?

For the 2023-24 school year, breakfast and lunch will be provided for all FWPS scholars at no cost, regardless of free and reduced eligibility status. However, by completing a Family Income Survey, your family may qualify for additional benefits under free or reduced status such as fee waivers, low-cost internet, and scholarships. The family income survey also ensures your child's school qualifies for federal and state funding as determined by parent income levels.

Fee Waivers

Parental Consent Needed for Additional Fee Waivers

During the enrollment or annual verification process through ParentVue, families have the option to sign consent waivers (required to share free/reduced information), which will automatically waive eligible fees at school or online through the FWPS payment portal. If consent is given, please allow 1-2 business days to be activated in the Fee Waiver Program. Fees paid prior to becoming active in the fee waiver program are not refundable. 

Please only complete one Family Income Survey per household. If you don’t have internet access or prefer to fill out the paper form, paper Family Income Surveys are available at all FWPS school sites and:
