  • Beginning January 2, 2024, every student in the Astoria School District will be offered breakfast and lunch at no cost, regardless of their paid, reduced, or free meal program status, for the remainder of the school year and the next three consecutive school years.

    What Should Parents Know:

    • The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) allows the nation’s highest-poverty schools and districts to serve breakfast and lunch at no cost to all enrolled students.
    • The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) approved a one-year waiver for CEP mid-year elections.
    • Astoria School District qualified for the mid-year change because more than 40% of students were directly certified for free or reduced meals.
    • This qualification will last for the remainder of this school year and the next three consecutive years as the funding permits. 

  • Beginning January 2, 2024, every student in the Astoria School District will be offered breakfast and lunch at no cost, regardless of their paid, reduced, or free meal program status, for the remainder of the school year and the next three consecutive school years.

    Astoria Middle and High School students will still need My School Bucks to purchase items on the a la carte menu.

  • If you have students at  Astoria Middle School or Astoria High School who would like to purchase items from the a la carte menu, then they will still need money in their My School Bucks Account.

    There are two ways to add money to your child's account:

    • Pay at School - cash or check are accepted in the school cafeteria. Receipts are provided upon request. Please make checks payable to Astoria School District, and include the student's name & ID number in the memo.

    • Pay Online –  MySchoolBucks can be used for online payments. There is a small fee for using MySchoolBucks to make deposits. Please visit:  MySchoolBucks.com
