All SNP Sponsors are required to conduct outreach for the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP).  If your Sponsor does not have SFSP sites, consider posting a link to the site locator tool on the school website or providing the link on a flyer to send home with students.  This would allow families to find a location to receive free meals at sites across Kansas.  The site locator tool is available at https://cnw.ksde.gov under SFSP, SFSP Locate a Site Near You. Now available: CNW also has summer meal site locator cards available in bulk quantities for program operators. The cards are the size of a business card and contain a QR code that households can scan to access the Locate a Site Near You webpage. Contact Katy Hatch at katy.hatch@ksde.gov to request cards.

Various texting services and hunger hotlines are also available.  The automated texting service that connects families to local summer meal sites is 914-342-7744.  Individuals can text a question that contains a keyword such as “food” or “summer meals”.  Parents and caregivers can also text the word “food” or “comida” to 304-304 to find the nearest meal sites through the No Kid Hungry Hotline.  The USDA National Hunger Hotline number is also available – individuals can call 1-866-3-HUNGRY or 1-877-8-HAMBRE to speak with a representative who will find food resources such as meal sites, food banks, and other nearby social services.

• A child must be 6 years of age on or before August 31 of the current year to enter the first grade.

Entrance Requirements

Enrollment Eligibility Requirements
Whenever a child is enrolled in a Kansas district school for the first time, the parent/guardian is required to provide proof of the child's identity. "Proof of Identity" is defined differently for different grade levels.

A child enrolling in preschool, kindergarten or first grade:

• A certified copy of the birth certificate of the child, or
• As an alternative for the child in the custody of the Secretary of Social and Rehabilitation Services, a certified copy of the court order placing the child in the custody of the secretary.
• In the absence of a certified copy of birth certificate for the child in kindergarten or first grade, any document which reasonably tends to establish the age of the child will be accepted as temporary proof of identity.

A student enrolling in Grades 1-12:

• A certified copy of birth certificate of child, or
• A certified transcript of school records, or
• Actual school records from sending school, or
• A hospital birth certificate.

NOTE: If proof of identity is not presented to the school district within 30 days after enrollment, written notice will be given immediately to a law enforcement agency.
