Community Eligibility Program (CEP)

Dear Parents and Guardians:

We know that children need healthy meals to learn. Here are some important Food Service Program and Provider items to remember for the 2024-25 school year: 

  1. We are pleased to announce that all students enrolled in Nyack Public Schools will receive a FREE breakfast and lunch meal throughout the school year through the federal Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). What does this mean for your student(s) who attend Nyack Public Schools? All students will receive a nutritious breakfast and lunch AT NO CHARGE each school day, regardless of family income. No further action is required of you. 
  2. Even though families no longer need to submit the free/reduced lunch application form, we ask that you fill out the attached Education Benefit Form, which will help our schools qualify for Federal and State Grants that support instructional initiatives and student learning. Additionally when eligible, your child(ren) may qualify to receive waivers for college applications, admissions tests (SAT & ACT), and other education benefits.
  3. A la carte items and snacks will still be available for purchase using My Payments Plus. Online application is available. 
  4. We begin a new school year with our new Food Service Provider, Whitsons. We also are pleased to introduce our new Food Service Director, Ms. Linda Ladolcetta. She will be working daily with our schools’ cafeteria staff, introducing new menu items, and implementing building level outreach initiatives that support healthy choices and good nutrition. Be on the lookout for more information to come. Feel free to email her with questions or concerns regarding meals at Lladolcetta@nyackschools.org.
  5. 5. We have a new interactive menu App that will provide easy access to important information about food items served in our schools. Located online via our district and school websites, you may now click on food items listed for each school menu to review ingredients, allergens, nutritional values.

For more  information about the Community Eligible Program (CEP), our district’s Education Benefit Form, My Payments Plus  or the new interactive menu app, visit the Food Service QuickLink on our website at www.nyackschools.org.

Yours in Education,

Dr. Lizzette Ruiz-Giovinazzi

Interim Superintendent of Schools
