Food Service - Free and Reduced Meals Application
Families may qualify for free or reduced meals through the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program. We encourage interested families to complete the application. To determine if a household qualifies, families can complete an online application at natronaschools.org or fill out and turn in the paper application directly mailed to their home. Only one application per household needs to be completed. Additionally, you can complete the application if your family's financial circumstances change at any time throughout the school year.

First-Time Bus Rider Practice Run!
The Natrona County School District Transportation Department will be holding a practice run for first-time (i.e., kindergarten, new to NCSD) bus riders run on Thursday, August 24th, 2023.
Important Information About the Practice Run!
- Transportation will pick up the parent and student at the student's AM bus stop at the AM pick-up time.
- Busses will then go to the NCSD Bus Hub. From there, the student and their parent/guardian will transfer to their designated bus to travel to the student's school.
- Parents and students will not get off the bus at the school. The bus will then reverse the route back to the hub, where parents and students will follow the student's PM route back to the PM Bus Stop.
- The practice run is only for elementary first-time transportation students.
- A parent/guardian must accompany the student.
This is only for the Casper area buses and will not include Alcova, Midwest, Poison Spider, and outlying areas.
Back To School Nights!
Pick up class schedules, meet teachers and school staff, pick up the necessary paperwork, and more! For specific information and questions, please contact your child's school. School contact information can be found at natronaschools.org.
