Free Breakfast and Lunch For ALL Students!

  • Suffern Central School District is pleased to provide FREE breakfast and lunch for all enrolled students in our District, through the federal Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program. 

    • This program allows for only one meal per breakfast and one for lunch per student daily.

    • Specialty, second meals, and à la carte items are not included in this program but are still available for purchase.

    • Students must still input their four or five-digit code when receiving their meals. New students can obtain their codes from their building's main office.

    • Parents who use the MySchoolBucks program to pay for meals and food items should take this time to review their accounts and adjust accordingly. Money is still needed to pay for additional items, beyond the standard free meal.

    • *Free does not mean unlimited; whether it’s food, milk, juice or condiments. Students who choose not to receive a full meal must pay for their milk, juice or condiments. If a student chooses to add to their home lunch, they must take a full serving of fruit and/or vegetable, then choose 2 other components to qualify to receive the free meal.

    • Students must have money in their account and not owe a balance to buy additional food. * NO EXCEPTIONS *

    • Free meals must meet state guidelines and consist of 3 out of 5 required components: milk, fruit, vegetables, grain and protein. To qualify as a free meal, students must choose three full portions from the five, and one must be a fruit or vegetable.

    • If the required components are not taken, the meal is not free.

    Even though all students in the Suffern Central School District are entitled to free breakfast and lunch, we strongly encourage every family to fill out the Application for free and reduced meals because it may also qualify you for discounted rates on programs, test registrations, college applications and more. Families should complete the application before the start of the school year, but no later than September 30, 2023.
