Food Services

RSD 17 participates in the National School Lunch Program and will be serving meals at no cost to students who qualify for reduced meals for the 2024-25 school year.

FREE BREAKFAST HAS ENDED AND ONLY STUDENTS ON THE FREE OR REDUCED LIST WILL GET FREE BREAKFAST THIS SCHOOL YEAR

Breakfast is available in Elementary, Intermediate and Middle schools.
The food service department is self-funded and due to reduced additional state and federal funding, rising food costs and increased labor costs we have increased the costs of meals.

Students on free and reduced $0.00
Full pay students $2.75

Food Service Updates

Dear Families,

It is important, for households who may qualify, to submit a free and reduced-price meal application to determine a student's eligibility for the school year.  A new application is requried each school year.  This application and related inofrmation can be found on the page in the forms section to the left.  

As an additional note, families may qualify for free and reduced meals through the school meal application process or through the direct certification process managed by the CT state department of Social Services (CT DSS).  The direct certification process coincides with food assistance programs extended by the CT DSS to families in need of qualified assistance.  The programs include SNAP, TAMF and Medicaid.

If you have any questions, please contact sshettleworth@rsd17.org.
