Letter to Parents for School Meal Programs

Dear Parent or Guardian:

We are pleased to inform you that SHERRILL CSD will once again implement a meal certification option available to schools participating in the National School Lunch and/or School Breakfast Programs for 2025-2026 school year.

What does this mean for your child(ren) attending the school(s) identified above?

All students enrolled at SHERRILL CSD are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and/or lunch at school at no charge to your household each day of the 2025-2026 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. However, a family income form to continue meals free of charge is attached; parents and guardians are strongly encouraged to fill this out and send back to the school food service department soon. A completed income form supports our district's eligibility to continue to receive free meals for all enrolled students. The completed forms also provide information to NY State, which affects state aid, and your child's potential Music and SAT fees.

If you have any further questions, please contact us at Sherrill CSD, Food Service Dept. 315-829-2520, ext. 7709.

Sincerely,

Hollie L Ackerman
School Lunch Manager
