Free and Reduced Meals Information
Would you like additional assistance with breakfast and lunches for your children? This could be temporary or longer, due to a recent job situation, or the long-term status of your family.
It is quick, easy, and confidential. You can always apply if you are unsure, and see the results. In fact, we see many families qualify that did not think they would. If your application is approved for free or reduced meals, your child will not be singled out or identified. Their meals will just become free or reduced in the school lunch system.
Please fill out an application to see if you qualify for free or reduced prices. In doing this, you help our school qualify and receive additional grants and money. Many times, grants are awarded first to the schools with the highest free and reduced percentages. Your application could make a difference, and you could be saving additional money you spend on school food for your family!
If you would like a copy of the Free and Reduced Meals Benefits Application, or have additional questions please call or email the office managers, Natalie Verch, 417-744-2552, verchn@billings.k12.mo.us or Cheryl Thornton, 417-744-2551, thorntonc@billings.k12.mo.us.

Any 6-8th grader that is interested in JH Cheer please see the attached flyer from Coach Hill. If you have any questions please reach out to Coach through her email. hillau@billings.k12.mo.us
Go Wildcats!
