| Free or Reduced Meals
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:
- Submit a completed meal application form. These forms are sent to all enrolled students in August. They also are available through this link (please print, fill out, sign and mail in): Free and Reduced Meal Application - 2007 - 2008 and at the Food Services office in the District Administration Building. OR
- Provide a copy of a Direct Certification letter sent by the NYS Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance.
- All meal applications are processed at 165 Charles St., Painted Post, NY 14870.
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: elementary students allowed up to three charges and then are offered a peanut butter and jelly entrée until the account is brought current. 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.
