Each school in the East Greenbush Central School District serves breakfast and lunch daily. Our goal is to provide nutritious and delicious meals that satisfy our students so they can focus on learning. A complete meal must include a fruit and/or a vegetable choice.

Charge Policy and Prohibition Against Shaming
The Board of Education recognizes that on occasion, students may forget to bring meal money to school. To ensure that students do not go hungry, but also to promote responsible student behavior and minimize the fiscal burden to the district, the Board will allow students who may forget meal money to “charge” the cost of meals to be paid back at a later date subject to the terms established in District policy #8505.
