SUN Bucks, also known as Summer EBT, is a new federal program starting in 2024. It provides $120 per school aged child (K-12 only) of food benefits to qualified families, when schools are closed for the summer. New York State will be participating in the program, and SUN Bucks will be administered by the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA).

This program benefits all students regarding meal service, it is still vitally important that we continue to collect eligibility applications to continue other services offered by the District.

 

To ensure Food and Nutrition is aware of your child’s particular dietary restrictions, such as allergies or diabetes, it is necessary for the parent or guardian of the child to submit a doctor’s note to the school nurse every year.

The District believes that for students to have the opportunity to achieve personal, academic, developmental and social success, we need to create positive, safe, and health-promoting learning environments at every level, in every setting, throughout the school year.

Hunger prevention and nutrition security are two important issues that we aim to address every day when children come to school. In addition to providing free meal service to all, Food & Nutrition Services participates in multiple food access programs to support our school communities as places of belonging where students' bodies and minds are well nourished.
