Starting Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2022, automated weekly SchoolMessenger phone calls and emails will be sent to families with negative and low balances on their student meal accounts. The purpose of the calls and emails is to alert parents and guardians to the low balances and to keep their accounts funded.
The messages include the link to apply for reduced price meals, allow for an email response, and are translated, if necessary.
Questions should be directed to the school nutrition department, 845-744-2031, ext. 2809.
