Farm to School
The BKW Food Services department is striving to provide students with more fresh fruits and vegetables. Our goal is to expose students to more fresh and local produce, as well as educate students about where their food comes from.
This year, we will be starting Harvest of the Month where we will featuring a locally grown fruit or vegetable each month for students to learn about and taste test. Additionally, we will be incorporating a number of locally produced and grown New York State foods throughout our menus.
Harvest of the Month
February: Beets
March: Butternut Squash
School Prohibition Against Lunch Shaming Plan
BKW Schools does not engage in practices that would draw attention to any student who does not have lunch money or whose parents have not paid lunch account balances. Read the plan.
MySchoolBucks Online Payment System
The BKW Food Service Department is excited to provide parents a convenient, easy and secure online pre-payment service to deposit money into your child’s school meal account at any time. This service also provides parents the ability to view your child’s account balance through a website called MySchoolBucks.com. By having money in each child’s account prior to entering the cafeteria, we find the lunch lines move along much faster so your child has more time to eat and be with friends.
Free and Reduced Price Lunch Program
BKW students are urged to take advantage of free and reduced-price meals at school. This confidential program is available to students from households that meet federal income guidelines. Even if you are not sure that you qualify, you can still apply. The Free and Reduced Lunch Program is coordinated for BKW Schools by the Capital Region BOCES Regional Food Service Management Program. If you have questions or would like assistance with an application please contact Susan Frank, BOCES Shared Food Service Program Specialist, at (518) 464-5133. Fax – (518) 862-4903.
Important Update: Beginning July 1, 2019, students approved for reduced price meals will receive breakfast and lunch meals at no charge. New York State is now covering the cost previously paid by the student. To see if you qualify, please fill out and mail in the attached free/reduced application.
Prepaid Meal Plans
Cash or checks can be sent with your student in a sealed envelope marked “Meal Program.” The student’s name should also be included, and if for an elementary student, please also include the teacher’s name on the envelope.
Online payments can be made through MySchoolBucks.com
Any number of prepaid meals may be purchased at one time.
Food Intolerance & Allergies
If your student has a food allergy or intolerance, please let us know right away. We will need a doctor’s note. Call the school nurse at (518) 872-2030 for a “Diet Prescription” form.
Birthday Baskets (Pre-K through Grade 5)
The BKW elementary cafeteria offers Birthday Baskets that can be delivered to your student’s classroom. It’s affordable and convenient for you and fun and healthy choices for the student’s special day. Birthday Basketball Order Forms will be sent home the month of your student’s birthday.
The USDA Summer Meals Hotline: 1-866-3-HUNGRY or text “FOOD” to 877-877
