Dear Parent or Guardian:
Great news for you and your children! The Athens Area School District will continue to offer free healthy breakfast and lunch to all students during the 2021-2022 school year. What do you have to do?
- You do not need to do anything.
- You do not have to pay any fee or fill out any forms.
- You do not need to send your child to school early for breakfast. Breakfast will be part of the school day.
Our district is receiving free meals for all students as part of the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP) through a choice for schools called the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP).
In addition to free breakfast and lunch, all schools will offer a la carte snack items that your student may purchase using their lunch account money. Their account must contain sufficient funds to cover any a la carte purchases.
If you have any questions, please call me at 570-888-7766 ext. 2239.
Sincerely,
Heather Swingle
Food Service Secretary
