Welcome to Oneonta City Schools

Breakfast and Lunch

2022 - 2023

Oneonta City Schools are pleased to announce all students enrolled at Oneonta City Schools are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household each day of the 2022-2023 school year. Your child(ren) will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit a free and reduced application. A CEP application is available online and we encourage each family to fill it out and return it as soon as possible for other funding options available to our school. Only one breakfast and one lunch is available at no charge. Extras, snacks, ala carte items and milk (purchased

separate from a meal) will have to be purchased. Make sure you join us for breakfast and lunch!

We are proudly taking part in New York Thursday, a New York State Farm to School initiative! NY Thursday meals are cooked from scratch in each district’s kitchen using seasonal foods that are grown, harvested and/or produced in state. We will be offering the meals once a month, sometimes twice!

This Farm to School program supports local farms, provides fresh and healthy lunches to students, and broadens students’ understanding of local food systems.

This program is made possible by Food and Health Network, DCMO BOCES Food Service Management team, the Sidney Farm to School Program, and of course, New York State farms.

We will also have “lunch pail buddies” available for your child! Let us provide the fruit, veggie and milk, you supply anything else! This counts as a meal, so there is no charge! They just grab a bag, put their number in and go!

Myschoolbucks will still be available if you would like to see what your child is eating or put money on his or her account for snacks. Go to www.myschoolbucks.com to sign up today. There is a nominal fee to make a payment, but free to sign up and check balances or history!
