MOUNT PLEASANT SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM

We are happy to inform you that the USDA and NYS have extended a program that will permit ALL students to receive school lunch at no cost each school day until June 30, 2022. We have already begun to implement this program at all of our school buildings.

What you need to know:

• Free meals are available to ALL students through June 30, 2022.
• Meal orders should continue to be submitted each day. This pre-ordering will assist with ensuring sufficient meal preparation and identification of dietary restrictions and food allergies for students.
• Meals will NOT be charged to the student’s meal account during this time.
• Students who are remote due to quarantine may contact the Food Service Director regarding pickup of student meals to be consumed at home.
• Families experiencing financial hardship should continue to complete the Free/Reduced price lunch application (available on the district website and at any school building) as this information will provide additional aid to students, families and the school district as we support those in need of assistance.

Should you have any questions or concerns about our food service program please contact our Food Service Director Ms. Jackie Houatchanthara at Jacqueline.Houatchanthara@compass-usa.com or 914- 769-5500 ext. 1890.
