Lunch Information & Prices

Dear Families,

For the 2024-2025 school year, as a result of available funds from the CSDE (State Transition Assistance for Reduced-price or STAR funds), qualified reduced meal students can receive one free breakfast (available at NBHS only) and one free lunch per school day.

It is important, for households who may qualify, to submit a free and reduced-price meal application to determine a student’s eligibility for the school year. A new application is required each school year. This application and related information can be found on this page. Please view this helpful parent video on How to Fill Out the Application for Free and Reduced-price Meals or Free Milk.

As an additional note, families may qualify for free and reduced meals through the school meal application process or through the direct certification process managed by the Connecticut State Department of Social Services (CT DSS). The direct certification process coincides with food assistance programs extended by the CT DSS to families in need of this qualified assistance. These programs include the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance (TANF) and Medicaid.

**Daily Lunch Prices**

➤JHS $3.00  ➤TVES $3.00 ➤NBIS $3.50 ➤NBHS $3.75 

➤Milk $0.75 ➤Reduced-priced Meal: $0.00 (for the 24-25 school year)

Payment Options:

  • MySchoolBucks: Add funds to your child's lunch account using MySchooBucks. Go to myschoolbucks.com or download the mobile app.
  • Cash or Check: Your child can bring cash or check to the cafeteria to be added to their lunch account. Please make checks payable to "North Branford School Lunch" and write your child's school and name on the memo line.

Returned Personal Checks / Nonsufficient Funds Fees

The North Branford Public Schools has an obligation to ensure that all expenditures are essential and reasonable and that they support the mission of the district. Legal Reference: Connecticut General Statutes 10-248 Payment of school expenses.

A nonsufficient funds fee (NSF) incurred from a parent, community member or third party shall be the sole responsibility of the writer of the check since paying such a fee is not a district expenditure.
