To extract a list of Free and Reduced Meal Program (FRMP) / National School Lunch Program (NSLP) status’ into a tab delimited text file, we will follow a simple two step process:
- Select the students that you wish to export
- Use the Quick Export Function with the Lunch Status code
Step 1: Select the students that you wish to export
Selecting students is easy. You can make this selection from the start page using queries or click on the groups that you wish to isolate. Once you have the students selected, you will be able to see a pulldown menu to “Select a function for this group of students.” It is here that you can select “Quick Export.”
Step 2: Use the Quick Export Function with your custom Lunch Status code and Submit.
Lunch Status Fields
If you want to use a very basic code set that will export the Lunch Status as it shows on a student’s Administration Page, the following code should be sufficient:
Student_number
Grade_Level
LastFirst
LunchStatus
- Student Number = School Assigned Student Number
- Grade_Level = Grade Level
- LastFirst = Student Name
- LunchStatus = THIS SCHOOL YEARS lunch status. This needs to be updated every year
- F = Free
- FDC = Free Direct Certification
- R = Reduced
- P = Full Pay
Tip: For California Schools, Directly Certified student can be reviewed in CALPADS. For instructions on how to do that, click here.
Hi Curtis, how can I find students who automatically qualify for FRL’s. If I remember correctly, this is something linked with CALPADS? – Gaby Z.
thanks!
Hi Gaby, you are correct that you need access to CALPADS to retrieve the list of students that are directly certified. The article can be found here: http://lcuwqz4rylewx4o.wwwmi3-sr8.supercp.com/knowledge/knowledge-base/how-do-i-lookup-direct-certification-information-in-calpads/
