Food & Nutrition Services

While the Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) program has been dicontinued, New York State will participate in the new Summer EBT program. Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) will distribute $40/month of food benefits for eligible children to households. SCSD will provide additional updates as information becomes available.

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 and food insecurity are two big issues that we aim to address every day each day when children come to school. In addition to providing free meal service to all, Food & Nutrition Services participates in multiple hunger prevention programs to combat childhood hunger in our schools.
