Free National School Lunch Program

Free National School Lunch Program Information
Posted on 05/23/2023
The Titan Family Portal will be transited to LINQ Connect, effective 5/23/2023.


Our meal payments platform, TITAN Family Portal, has upgraded to LINQ Connect. Download the new LINQ Connect app in the Google Play Store available now and the Apple Store that will be available soon or visit http://linqconnect.com/ to manage all your payments in one convenient location.

There’s no need to change your username or password. It will all transfer to the new platform for you.

Within the LINQ Connect portal, you can apply for free and reduced meals, set up one-time or recurring payments for your student’s meals, view previous transactions, set spending limits, transfer funds between students if within the same district, set low balance notifications, and more. It’s an easy way to manage meal payments without the hassle of sending cash.

ALL students participating in the Free National School Lunch Program will have to have a completed application that can be filled out through Linq Connect using this link http://linqconnect.com/.

In order to be able to implement this program as smoothly as possible, it is imperative that we have your assistance in promptly filling out the applications well before the start of school as the cafeteria staff will be busier than ever!

● Students will still need to scan their ID cards

● Only NSLP meals qualify for reimbursement (1 Breakfast and 1 Lunch per student/day)
