For school year 2024-25 students will pay $1.50 for breakfast and $3.10 for lunch. Our district web site includes meal menus for the year and information about creating a meal account with the MySchoolBucks payment system. Please note that MySchoolBucks charges a fee for usage. If you wish to avoid this fee, please send your student to school with a check made out to “Hamden School Lunch Fund.”
Your child may qualify for either free meals or reduced-price meals. Please see the application and informational page on our district web site. We now offer a fully online application. For SY 2024-25 students eligible for reduced-price school meals will receive one breakfast and one lunch per school day free of charge. Even if your child qualified for free or reduced-price meals last year, a new application must be completed this year.
