Will all meals be free for the 2022-23 school year?
As of June 30, 2022, free meal waivers through the USDA for the National School Lunch Program that were in place since the beginning of the pandemic have expired. Families of students who are eligible to receive free or reduced meals will need to fill out an application. Eligibility is based on family income – see link for eligibility status here.
Applications will be sent home at the beginning of the school year or can be found on our website. Applications should be sent to your child’s school office as soon as possible
Children experiencing homelessness, children in foster care, runways, or children of a migrant worker all qualify for free school meals through an application.
Possible Menu Changes
Due to supply chain issues, there may be shortages and delays throughout the year on certain food items and supplies. This could mean changes to the menu. Please be assured that the cafeteria staff is committed to doing everything possible to get our students the most balanced meals possible.
While things are always changing at a moment’s notice we will do our best to keep you informed and updated.
Any questions or concerns feel free to contact Pat Metzler, pmetzler@newlebanoncsd.org, 518-794-7600, opt. 2, opt. 7
