Dear Parent or Guardian:
We are pleased to announce that all students enrolled at Elmont Memorial High School, Floral Park Memorial High School, New Hyde Park Memorial High School, and Sewanhaka High School will be able to receive a FREE breakfast and lunch meal at school beginning on FEBRUARY 1, 2024.
This implementation is a result of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) expanding access to the federal Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). CEP allows eligible schools participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs to offer school meals at no charge to all students.
What does this mean for your child(ren) attending the schools) identified above? Effective FEBRUARY 1, 2024, all students enrolled at Elmont Memorial High School, Floral Park Memorial High School, New Hyde Park Memorial High School and Sewanhaka High School will receive meals at no cost to your household. No further action is required of you.
Parents of any student with a positive balance on their MySchoolBucks account may either:
• Leave the money in the account for the student to purchase snacks, or;
• Request a refund of their balance
To request a refund, please send an email to Dena DeBari, School Lunch Manager, at ddebari@sewanhakaschools.org.
If you have any further questions, please contact Dena DeBari, School Lunch Manager, at 516-539-9498.
Sincerely,
Dr. Thomas P. Dolan
Interim Superintendent of Schools
