July 29, 2011—Parents of Schalmont Central School District
students are invited to complete applications for their children
to receive free or reduced price meals during the 2011-12 school
year. Those parents who have previously qualified for free or
reduced price meals must complete and submit an application for
the new school year.
To apply for free or reduced price meals, parents must submit to
their child’s school a completed free and reduced lunch
application or a direct certification letter from the New York
State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance.
Applications will be mailed home to all district parents with
the annual school district calendar in late August. Applications
may also be
downloaded online.
The district has adopted the following criteria to assist in
determining a family’s eligibility for free or reduced price
meals.
