Rio Rancho Public Schools is offering free meals to all enrolled students during the 2021-2022 school year under the COVID-19: Child Nutrition Response #85 Nationwide Waiver to Allow the Seamless Summer Option through School Year 2021-2022. All students within the district are eligible to receive free meals regardless of income.

In addition, Rio Rancho Public Schools would like to welcome our new food service provider, Southwest Foodservice Excellence (SFE) for this school year. SFE is happy to be part of the Rio Rancho Public Schools system and the entire staff looks forward to assisting us in igniting student potential by providing tasty and healthy meals for our students each school day. You will find that SFE’s food is diverse, nutritious, contains locally sourced ingredients, and is incredibly tasty!

Even though all student meals are free this school year, families who typically qualify for free and reduced student meals within Rio Rancho Public Schools, are still encouraged to apply through the standard process as you may qualify for other benefits associated with the program.  To apply for free and reduced means and any other associated benefits, please visit: https://family.titank12.com/  For questions directly related to free and reduced meal benefits, please email ginger.lange@rrps.net or call Ms. Lange at 896-0667 Ext. 51895
