2021-22 School Year Lunches

For school year 2021-22, Hamden  has opted to participate in the Seamless Summer Option (SSO) of the National School Lunch Program. This means that all students enrolled in the Hamden Public Schools will receive breakfast and lunch free of charge.
However, it remains critical that you complete and submit your free and reduced-price meal application to Hamden Public Schools in order to determine eligibility for other programs, like the Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT), discounted technology and WiFi programs, and more.
Here is a letter from Whitson's Food Service, explaining the meals, safety, and special diet information.
