Free & Reduced-Price School Meals Family Application School meals play an important role in supporting children as schools reopen for the School Year 2026-2027. We are excited to inform you that the Pembroke Pines Charter School System (PPCSS) can serve all students free breakfast meals for the 2026-2027 school year. The cost for lunch meals is $2.70 for Elementary, $3.05 for Middle, and $3.20 for High School. Offering free meals for breakfast allows our students to start off the day well-nourished and healthy. Parents and Guardians are always encouraged to complete a Free or Reduced Price meal application for all new students and for those who have had a change in the household. Approval of the meal application may determine whether students are eligible to receive additional assistance through other federal programs. Starting in August 3rd, the online F&R application will be available to complete. Please see the instructions and link below.
