School’s Back in Session with FREE Meals
for All In-School and Remote-Learning Students!
Free Meals include both Breakfast and Lunch!
(available through December 31st or until USDA funds are depleted)
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced that schools may extend the free meals program that our district participated in from March until August. Plainfield Public Schools have been approved to allow any child in the Town 18 years old or under regardless of financial eligibility status to receive FREE meals. This will begin Monday, September 14. This includes meals for students who are enrolled in our remote learning model and all students eating in school. Per the USDA, this program will be available through December 31, 2020, or until allocated Federal funding is depleted, whichever is sooner. We will continue to keep families updated if this occurs before December 31, 2020.
It is important that families submit updated free/reduced meal applications if there are any changes in household size or income. Confidential applications are accepted throughout the school year and, if approved, are effective through the last day of the 2020-2021 school year. Applications and instructions for applying can be found by visiting:

Free meals for children 18 and under will only be provided as a complete meal per program
guidelines. Bagged meals picked up daily will include a nutritious lunch and a nutritious breakfast for the next day.
Students In-School Programs will receive meals in the classroom at their school.
Families with students on remote-home learning whether by choice or by the
alternate hybrid-day program may pickup meals at:
Plainfield High, Plainfield Central Middle, or Moosup Elementary
Monday –Friday from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm
