Healthy Meals

Port Jervis City School District participates in the National School Lunch Program which regulates and subsidizes the provision of complete, nutritionally balanced meals.  

Community Eligibility Provision

Beginning in the 2019-2020 school year, Port Jervis City School District will participate in the Community Eligibility Provision for Hamilton Bicentennial Elementary School, Anna S. Kuhl Elementary School, and the Port Jervis Middle School.  In summary, this will allow all students in grades K-8 to receive breakfast and lunch free of charge.  

Students in Grades K-8

Students in grades K-8 will not need to fill out the “Free and Reduced Lunch Application” as all students in these grades will receive the meals at no cost.  As eligibility for the Free and Reduced Meal Program allows for eligibility in other programs and services, applicable families can complete the following confidential application

Port Jervis High School Students

Port Jervis High School is not included in the Community Eligibility Provision for the 2019-2020 school year.  Therefore, high school students will continue with the procedures from previous years. The cost of each meal will remain the same from the 2018-2019 school year.  Students can purchase breakfast for $1.70 and lunch for $3.00. Students that are approved for reduced-price meals for breakfast and lunch will receive these meals at no charge.  Free and Reduced Meal Applications can be accessed using the following link
