Lunch Application 2024-2025
No-Cost Meals for All Students
California has become the first state to pass universal free school meals program for all public school students. Free lunch and breakfast will be offered at all schools. All meals will comply with federal nutrition regulations.
More Than Meals! Benefits for Your Student and School!
Although all school students receive a free meal, completing a school meals application is crucial to school funding.
  • For every student who applies and qualifies for free meals, the school receives more than $1000 and additional money from state and federal grants. This includes increased funding for afterschool programs, technology, counseling services, and equipment for school kitchens.
  • Families who qualify for free meals may also be eligible for free or reduced cost internet, P-EBT food card from the state of California, free or reduced cost summer camps, and more! Your application helps your child and many others. Check income eligibility below.
NOTE: The district shall not deny any individual the benefits or service of any nutrition program or discriminate against him/her on any basis prohibited by law. Collecting payment for meals will adhere to the regulations in Board Policy 3551.
To Complete a School Meals Application Online...
Applying online is the fastest way to qualify your child for free meals. All online applications are secure, private and processed within 24 hours. If you prefer paper please see the form attached. Paper forms can be submitted to the front office.

School Traffic Safety: Protecting Our Kids and Neighbors
It’s crucial to prioritize traffic safety for our students and neighbors.
With busy mornings and afternoons, the roads around our school can become hectic. Let’s work together to ensure everyone stays safe!
Please remember to drive slowly and watch for children crossing the street. Use designated drop-off and pick-up zones, and encourage kids to use crosswalks.
We also ask parents and guardians to set a good example by practicing safe walking and biking habits. Together, we can create a safer environment for our children and foster positive relationships within our community.
Let’s keep our roads safe and our neighborhoods thriving!
Want to report unsafe driving or traffic violations on the city streets near school? Please report them to the City of San Jose at (408) 277-8900.
Want to request a speed monitor from the City of San Jose? Please contact them at (408) 535-3850.

Project Cornerstone


Project Cornerstone Volunteer
Our school has adopted Project Cornerstone's parents engagement program Los Dichos & ABC's, which is part of a country wide effort to build assets in our youth by providing connections with caring adults and lessons that promote a more caring school climate. 
The Asset Building Champions (ABC) and Los Dichos are parent engagement programs.
Parents and families can volunteer at Lynhaven by reading specially selected books and leading activities that help teach valuable lessons.
The Spanish-language Los Dichos program opens new doors for parents from diverse cultures to support their children’s school success as well as the healthy development of all young people in their communities.
