School Lunch
Our school offers free breakfast, lunch and after school meals to all students during the school year. Although school lunch is now free for all students, parents/guardians are still required to fill out a school lunch form at the beginning of each school year. This may be done in paper format or online.
For paper application: please contact the Main Office.

Food Rules

It can be tough to save for college, and getting started can be the hardest part. This is why the nonprofit NYC Kids RISE has started the Save for College Program in partnership with the City of New York and the NYC Department of Education. It’s a scholarship and savings program designed to make college more accessible and achievable for your child. The program provides you, your family, and your community with a way to work together to save for your child’s future.
Please visit NYC Kids Rise to get started!
