Free and reduced lunches

To parents: and guardians
     Each year we are required to update our files to have current accurate meal applications on file. Any student that we do not have a new application by September 30 will be considered a Full Pay student on October 1. Any charges accrued from that point until we have an approved application on file will be your responsibility. We certainly do not wish to have you accrue these expenses, so please find the application for Free and Reduced Price School Meals and the Pesticide Notification Form (this form is also updated each year) attached and fill them out and return them as soon as possible (Before school starts if possible). Send them to: Fort Plain Central Schools, 25 High Street, Fort Plain, NY 13339, and Attn: Teri Hopper
     I would also like to take this time to thank those who participated in our Quarterly Lunch Ticket Program for making it such a success. We invite them and everyone else to participate this year for the potential savings this plan has to offer.
     If you have not sent in a completed application for free or reduced school meals, send it in as soon as possible. If you need an application, k  call Teri Hopper at (518) 993-4000, ext. 3503 or e-mail here.

Child Nutrition Advisory Committee Recommendations - Snacks

To Parents and Guardians:

     The Fort Plain Central School District is committed to providing a school environment that promotes and protects children's health, well-being and the ability to learn by fostering healthy eating and physical activity. The district has established a wellness committee, which has developed a local wellness policy. A copy of this policy is available in the District office or on this website. Click here for the school  district's Wellness Policy.

     In accordance with this policy, we are asking teachers and parents to work toward providing healthier snacks and treats. Below you will find a list of suggested snacks that could take the place of "traditional" snacks such as cupcakes, candy, and cookies, snacks which have little nutritional value and high fat and/or sugar content. Please make every effort to choose items from this list when sending refreshments for your child's class. Items marked with an asterisk(*) may contain nuts. Your child's teacher is aware of students with nut or other allergies.

     In addition, you will find that our cafeteria meals and snacks have been modified to meet guidelines for healthier eating. As always, feel free to contact building principals with your questions or concerns. Thank You.
