All students are eligible for nutritious and delicious meals that are
convenient and a bargain! BREAKFAST is AT NO CHARGE
to all students and lunch costs $1.50. If you are receiving benefits such
as Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), Food Stamps, WIC or any other
public assistance benefits, your child may be eligible for free meals. Children
from households that meet Federal Income Guidelines are eligible for free or
reduced-price meals.
The School Meals Application is
now a scannable form which is why it has been redesigned in a bright red color
but the household information required has not changed. The application is to
be completed using black or dark blue ink
– and should not be photocopied. Households are encouraged to complete all
required information to avoid delays in processing the form.
The Department of Education teamed up with
ACCESS NYC early this year to develop the first ever
Online School Meals Application
. As of August 29, 2008 families can apply for school meals online for all
their children attending any NYCDOE school from the privacy of their home
without having to repeat the process for each school their children attend. The
application will be sent electronically to the processing center and the
eligibility will be uploaded into the school database.
