School meals are a healthy option for all students.  They include whole grains, meat and meat alternatives that are lean and low fat, a variety of vegetables, fruit and milk daily. Meals are planned following the USDA guidelines for children.  We encourage participation in the school meal program by ALL students.  If you need any information on the meal program, meals for students with disabilities,  or the process of applying for Free and Reduced price meals please call the number above or email us at: childn@3villagecsd.k12.ny.us

IMPORTANT ALL PARENTS/GUARDIANS:

PLEASE CHECK YOUR CHILDS SCHOOL LUNCH BALANCE AND DAILY SPENDING LIMITS IN MYSCHOOLBUCKS.COM TO ENSURE THEY ARE SET TO APPROPRIATE AMOUNTS BASED ON THE ABOVE PRICES. If allowing snack purchase please keep that in mind when setting up spending limits.  If you are setting up account limits, daily limits work well, please do NOT set up a weekly limit as students may use the funds earlier in the week and be short funds later in the week.   IF YOU CAN’T CHECK ON MYSCHOOLBUCKS.COM PLEASE CONTACT US.  You can reach out through email childn@3villagecsd.k12.ny.us and let us know your students info and daily spending limit to be set.

IMPORTANT ALLERGY INFORMATION

Most of our fresh bakery products such as bread and rolls will CONTAIN SESAME starting January 3, 2023.
If your child has an allergy to sesame please reach out to Jean Ecker for available menu options.

Due to manufacturer and delivery delays, we regret to inform you that from time to time we will need to change our menu. We do anticipate shortages to continue throughout the school year, which will continue to cause menu changes. We are doing everything we can to try to provide our students favorite meals. We appreciate your patience.

FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES MAY BE SUBSTITUTED FOR THE MENUED FRUIT OR VEGETABLES AS NECESSARY DUE TO VENDOR SHORTAGES. Apples and Oranges may be substituted for the fruit of the day. Vegetables in the same subgroup will be substituted whenever possible.

Future menu changes will be posted above throughout the school year.

Student Lunch Accounts

Please do NOT set up weekly spending limits on Lunch Accounts. If you would like to add spending limits to meal accounts please set up Daily Limits - they do work well. We encourage the use of prepaid accounts for students.

We do accept cash at the registers, however, we recommend that Students Meal Accounts are  funded with a check or credit card.  You may mail checks, made out to “Three Village Cafeteria Fund” to 100 Suffolk Ave. Stony Brook NY 11790 or send them in with your child.  Please include your children’s names and the amount for each child.   Cash should not be mailed.  To fund the account with a credit card log on to MySchoolBucks.com (please note they do charge a $2.75 processing fee)
