Food Services 2023-2024 School Year
Welcome to the Food Services webpage. Here you will find information on all aspects of the Hamden Public Schools food service program.
Breakfast is free at all schools for the 2023-2024 school year. We will begin charging for lunch at certain schools on the first day of school. Other schools are eligible to operate under the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) which allows all enrolled students to receive free breakfast and lunch for the duration of the school year. Please find your school on the chart below to see its status.

Households should submit a free and reduced-price meal application as soon as possible to determine eligibility for this school year and avoid unpaid meal charges. Hamden Public Schools uses the secure and convenient MySchoolBucks meal account and payment system. It is the responsibility of parents and guardians to keep track of student accounts and avoid negative balances. Please read Hamden Public School’s charging policy.
