What's On the menu today?

All NYC public school students can enjoy free breakfast and lunch at school. You do not need to apply for your child to receive those meals. However, we do ask families to complete a School Meals form so that schools can receive the right amount of funding for the program. Please complete the online form. We will also send a copy of the form home with your child, or you can get it from your school’s main office.

Our monthly menus offer a variety of healthy, great-tasting, and creative food choices. We make sure that K–12 students can choose from a variety of smart options, such as:

Whole grain cereals and breads

A variety of vegetables

Assorted fruits

Fresh salads

Low-fat and fat-free milk

Our goal is to always provide nutrient-rich options that students of all ages and backgrounds will love. Our meals maintain high nutrition standards which meet and many times exceed USDA standards for school meals. We do not use food additives such as artificial colors or flavors, non-nutritious sweeteners, or preservatives. Additionally, we restrict high fructose corn syrup when we can. Our menus and water services are created to make sure that students get the nutrients they need to think clearly and concentrate on learning.
