The Owego Apalachin Central School District Food Service Program is pleased to announce that all district schools will participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) grant program during the 2023-2024 school year.
Beginning the first day of school (September 7, 2023), EVERY STUDENT ENROLLED IN THE DISTRICT will receive one free breakfast and one free lunch each school day regardless of the family’s household income.
Students can purchase additional items. Families can add funds to their “EZSchoolPay” account by cash or check in any dollar amount with the Food Service Staff (please make checks payable to Owego Apalachin Central School District) or by using the EZSchoolPay Web site or App. *The website/app does charge a service fee for credit card payments.
As part of the program, families are asked to complete a CEP Household Income Eligibility Form, which can be found online. This is not mandatory, however, completion of this form (https://5il.co/205zg) will help the District maximize the amount of state and federal aid that it receives, thereby maximizing resources available to students. It also could qualify some students for additional services, such as discounted or free college courses and college applications at the high school level.
Menus can be found on our website and OA app under dining and on the RockOn Cafe Food & Nutrition page here: https://www.rockoncafe.org/owego-apalachin_home.aspx
