As Magnolia ISD students return to in-person instruction for the 2020-21 school year, meals will be available at no cost to all MISD students attending on-campus learning starting Sept. 8, according to an online announcement by the district. This follows an Aug. 31 announcement from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, announcing the summer meal program operators that offered free meals to all children—such as MISD's curbside meal program—can continue through Dec. 31 or until available funding runs out.

MISD information states all students on campus will receive breakfast and lunch at no cost beginning Sept. 8. After Dec. 31—or after funding expires—all kids with approved applications for free and/or reduced-price meals will be served with free and reduced-price meals. Applications must be complete no later than Sept. 24 to receive those meals at that time, district information states.

Curbside meals are also continuing at no charge for children age 18 and younger, according to MISD information. Children will not be required to be present at time of meal pickup; however, an approved form of I.D. for each child must be shown to receive meals.

Breakfast and lunch meals will be distributed between 9 a.m.-noon daily at the following campuses:
  • Magnolia Elementary School
  • J. L. Lyon Elementary School
  • Cedric C. Smith Elementary School
  • W.E. Williams Elementary School
  • Magnolia Intermediate School
Curbside meals are also available Tuesday and Thursday evenings for Tomball ISD students participating in virtual instruction beginning Sept. 8, according to an online announcement.

Meals are charged according to students' meal eligibility. To apply for free or reduced-price meal eligibility, fill out the application here.


Students are not required to be present for meal pickup; however, a form of the student's I.D. is required.

Tuesday's distribution includes two breakfasts and two lunches, and Thursday's distribution includes three breakfasts and three lunches, according to district information.
