As previously announced, Mineola Schools will be participating in the Community Eligible Provision (CEP) available to select schools as a part of the Federal National School Breakfast and Lunch Program.
What does this mean for my student(s) who attend Mineola Schools?
All students will receive a nutritious breakfast and lunch at no charge each school day, regardless of family income. All meals offered to Mineola students follow USDA Guidelines for milk, fruits, vegetables, proteins and grains. A la carte items such as water and snacks will still be available for purchase. We encourage families to register for My School Bucks on the District Website as students are not allowed to charge a la carte items under any circumstances. Parents are expected to pay any prior outstanding balance on their student's account.
To find out more about Mineola UFSD’s Community Eligible Program or to print out the CEP Income Household Eligibility Form, click on the PDFs below. The CEP Income Household Eligibility Form is only needed if you have not already filed a Free and Reduced Lunch Application this school year AND you wish to qualify for additional benefits such as waivers for college applications and discounts for admission tests (i.e. ACTs, SATs) and AP tests.
If you need to check on your child's meal account or have questions about filling out the form, please call the District Treasurer at 516-237-2067.
