Dear parents and guardians,
We are excited to announce that Hyde Park Central School District has been approved to participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). This program allows us to provide breakfast and lunch for free for all enrolled students.
Here are the key points about CEP and Meal Charges:
- Eligibility: Every student will receive a free meal, no matter their status.
- Additional Meals: While the first meal for breakfast and lunch is free, any additional meal (such as a second breakfast or lunch) will incur a charge.
- Reversal of Meal Charges: All meal charges from the beginning of the school year will be reversed. You will not be billed for first meals served during this time.
- Manual Transactions: We appreciate your patience as we manually complete each transaction. Rest assured that we are working diligently to ensure accurate records.
Contact Us:
If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to email us at Foodservices@hpcsd.org or call us at (845)229-4006.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Nutrition Services
Income/ Meal Applications:
Because all students qualify for meals free of charge on the days they are in school, under Child Nutrition regulations, Nutrition Services no longer distribute meal applications.
SNAP:
SNAP benefits help you buy the groceries your family needs and supports our local economy. Apply here: www.ny.gov/services/apply-snap
Students that are Directly Certified qualify for additional benefits. Please click the link below for more information:
As part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the President and Congress created the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which provides eligible households up to $30/month (or $75/month for households living on Tribal lands) toward their internet bills, as well as a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet.All households with a child who was approved to receive free or reduced price school meals under the National School Lunch Program or the School Breakfast Program, within the last 12 months, including children who attend schools participating in the Community Eligibility Provision, are eligible for ACP benefits. Households are also independently eligible if (1) their income is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level ($55,500 for a family of four); or (2) a member of the household participates in certain other Federal benefit programs—including, among others, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), Medicaid, and Federal Public Housing Assistance.
To further lower costs, the Biden-Harris Administration secured commitments from internet service providers across the country to offer high-speed plans that are fully covered by the ACP. As a result, millions of working families can now get high-speed internet without paying a dime.
Families can check their eligibility, sign up, and find fully covered plans at GetInternet.gov(link is external) (mobile-accessible and available in Spanish) or by calling 877-384-2575.
