Welcome to the Fort Edward School Cafeteria!

Free meals for all Fort Edward students
during the 2023-24 School Year

Fort Edward Union Free School District is participating in the Community Eligibility Program (CEP), which allows all students to receive meals and milk at no charge – regardless of household income.

Parents are asked to complete the Household Income Eligibility Form each year. This form also helps to determine eligibility for ADDITIONAL state and federal programs that may benefit your child. Please return this form to your building principal. 

The Fort Edward UFSD has switched lunch payment providers from MySchoolBucks to LINQ Connect. Families will no longer add funds to MySchoolBucks for students to use in the cafeteria, but will instead add funds through the TITAN Family Portal. All current balances in MySchoolBucks will be transferred to LINQ Connect.

For more information, please contact Erin Wright, Shard Food Service Specialist (518) 464-3945, erin.wright@neric.org

For information about the end of Emergency SNAP benefits and other resources, please contact the NYS Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance here.
