2025-26 Free School Meals Information – What You Need to Know!

Dear Gardner-Dickinson Families,

As you may have heard, all students will now receive free breakfast and lunch every day, thanks to New York State’s Universal School Meals program.

What’s included?
Each student is entitled to:

  • One complete breakfast, and

  • One complete lunch per school day – at no cost!

A “complete meal” must include required food groups (such as a fruit or vegetable), following federal guidelines.

**Additional snacks or second meals are not included and may still be charged to the student’s account.**

Please Still Fill Out the Free/Reduced Meal Application!
Even though meals are free for everyone, we kindly ask every family to complete the Household Income Eligibility Form.

Why?

  • It helps our school qualify for important state and federal funding.

  • It may help your family access other benefits, like reduced fees for tests, college applications, internet discounts, and more.

Filling out the form takes just a few minutes and helps support ALL students in our school.
