Free and Reduced-Price Meal

 Thanks to a Federal Program, all students, regardless of family income, are eligible to receive Free School Meals for the 2021-2022 school year

 This program will end on 6/30/22. In order to receive benefits other than free meals, such as reduced fees for testing, or other perks that normally go with free or reduced price eligibility, you will still need to have an approved application on file. 

Having an approved application on file will also ensure that your child will continue to receive free meals when school starts again in September 2022.

APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2021-2022 SCHOOLyear will be available after August 1

Please click on the link at the left labeled Applications for Free/ Reduced Price Meals to download a copy of the application

 Hard copies of the application are  available at the main office of your child's school. Only one application per family is needed. 

For assistance with completing your application, please  contact nzeller@somersschools.org or call 914-248-6284
