Dear Parent or Guardian:
We are pleased to inform you that the Monticello Central School District will be implementing a meal certification option available to schools participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs for 2018-2019.
What does this mean for your child(ren) attending the school(s) identified above?
All students enrolled at Emma Chase Elementary, George Cooke Elementary, Kenneth Rutherford Elementary, Robert J. Kaiser Middle and the Monticello High Schools are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household each day of the 2018-2019 school year. No further action is required of you. Your child(ren) will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit an application.
If you have any further questions, please contact us at (845) 794-8840 ext. 10970.
Sincerely,
