Dear Parent or Guardian:
We are pleased to inform you that Millbrook Central School District was notified today that we are approved to implement a program available to schools participating in the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Programs called the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP).
What does this mean for you and your children attending the schools identified below?
Great news! All enrolled students of Millbrook Central School District are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no cost to your household each day of the school year. Your children will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit a meal application. Children who would like to have a second meal, snacks, or beverages will have the opportunity to purchase them or utilize the money on their account. If your child(ren)'s account has a balance at the end of the year those balances will roll over to the next year or you may request a refund.
If you have any questions about this letter, please contact me at holly.heady@millbrookcsd.org
Sincerely,
Holly Peters Heady
School Lunch Director
