Cafeteria

Hadley-Luzerne Central School District is excited to announce that all Hadley-Luzerne Central School District students are eligible for free breakfasts and lunches. No sign-up or pre-registration is required, however, a la carte purchases (snacks, drinks, and extra meals) must be paid at time of purchase. Free meals are made available by the Community Eligibility Provision federal program and additional funding from NYS.

Hadley-Luzerne CSD encourages families to complete an income form that is vital for other grants and aid programs. The income form can also be completed online by clicking here.

The Hadley-Luzerne Central School District will never deny a student a meal due to lack of funds. Breakfast and lunch are currently free, however, a la carte purchases (snacks, beverages, and extra meals) must be paid at time of purchase. Prompt payment is requested and notices will be sent if a student accrues meal charges. If you have any questions, please contact Food Service Director Courtney Scheff. 

The Hadley-Luzerne Central School District recognizes that many students may be diagnosed with a severe food allergy or other circumstance warranting dietary accommodations at breakfast and/or lunch. Parents requesting modifications should work with a licensed healthcare provider (physician, nurse practitioner, or PA) to get get a signed letter stating the following:

• The food(s) to be avoided
• Brief explanation of how exposure affects the student
• Recommended substitute(s)

Documentation should be submitted to the school nurse at the beginning of the year, or as soon as the diagnosis is made. Parents should also contact the Director of Food Service to discuss the requested modification(s) in relation to the school menus if substitutions are being requested. Upon approval, meal modifications will be made as needed during the students’ regular meal times at school. 

If a modification is denied, parents have the right to file a grievance. Parents should first contact the Director of Food Service to appeal the decision. A review team consisting of the School Nurse, Director of Food Service, and district 504 Coordinator will conduct a review and make a final decision of the modification. 

All schools participating in the National School Breakfast/Lunch Program must establish a local school wellness policy that includes specific goals for nutrition promotion and education, physical activity, and other school-based activities. In addition, standards and nutrition guidelines for all foods and beverages available on the school campus during the school day must remain consistent with federal regulations designed to promote student health and reduce childhood obesity. School districts must meet and provide a triennial assessment report that describes the extent to which it is complying with the wellness policy. Community members and stakeholders are invited to join the district wellness committee. If interested, please reach out to Food Service Director Courtney Scheff.
