2012-2013 Free or Reduced Meals 

Click here for the Parent Letter and Application

Children from households that meet Federal income guidelines are eligible for free or reduced priced meals. Parents may apply for benefits at any time during the school year using one of the following methods:

1. Submit a completed meal application form. These forms are sent to all enrolled students in August. They also are available through the above link (please print, fill out, sign and mail in): and at the Food Services office in the District Administration Building. OR
2. Provide the Direct Certification letter sent by the NYS Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance.
3. All meal applications are processed at 165 Charles St., Painted Post, NY 14870.

Parents may print off and complete the application, then it must be mailed or brought to our office (165 Charles St. Painted Post, NY 14870) with an original signature--no faxing.

Parents will receive notification of eligibility after forms have been submitted and reviewed.

Charging Policy

In order to comply with state and federal auditing regulations the following policies have been implemented in the district: any charges are the responsibility of the parent and must be repaid. A student who abuses this policy may be denied a meal. If school authorities suspect that a student may be abusing this policy, written notice will be provided by the Building Principal or his/her designee to the parent informing the parent that if the child continues to abuse the policy, the child will lose the privilege of charging meals. Notification of the account balance to the household will be made via phone calls and/or written communication. Please make sure your children's school office has the correct mailing address and phone number on file.

Pre-Paid Food Accounts

The District encourages parents to pre-pay for student meals whenever possible. This prevents children from losing money and speeds up the serving lines during mealtime. Monthly pre-payment amounts are noted at the bottom or on the back of each menu. Checks made out to School Lunch Fund can be sent either to your child's school or to the Food Service Office at the District Administration Building, 165 Charles St, Painted Post, NY, 14870.
