IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING SCHOOL MEALS! The federal government has issued new nutrition standards for meals served to America's school children based on the Dietary Guidelines. The new standards set strict regulations for portion sizes, yet offer a wide variety of different fruits, vegetables, proteins and grains. We are always working to offer CCSD students healthier lunch meal choices.
Applications for free and reduced priced school meals for the 2020-2021 school year are available on the Food Services Department website, by email to the Food Services Department at carmelfoodservices@carmelschools.org, or by calling the Food Service Department at 845-878-2094, Extension 255. Only one application per family is needed.
