School Meals Become Free for Students

Beginning Wednesday, September 2, all students enrolled in the Patchogue-Medford School District's participating elementary, middle, and high schools will receive breakfast and lunch at no cost to their households. The district says no further action is required for enrolled students under the federal Community Eligibility Provision. Families should note that snacks, drinks, and second portions remain available for purchase through existing account or cash procedures. Questions may be directed to the district Food Services Department at 631-687-6525.
