Our school breakfast program will begin 9/4/25. The door in the large yard is open from 7:45am-8:00am and children will be served breakfast in the cafeteria and remain there under supervision until they can go to their classrooms at 8:20am.  There is no entry to the building between 8:00am and 8:20am.  Children who arrive after 8:20am who want breakfast can take a bag breakfast in the main lobby to their classroom to eat. 

LUNCH SCHEDULE: 

Your children will eat lunch in the cafeteria during the following periods.  You may choose for your child to be served School Food's FREE Hot Lunch or you may send a packed lunch from home.  Please mark lunch boxes and water bottles with your child's name. 

The application period was open from May 19th-June 9th, 2025.  Families will be notified whether their child will be in the program this year or placed on the waitlist by letter on September 4 & 5, 2025.  The program start date is TBD.

Contact Program Director Nada Arkadan at nada.arkadan@heartshare.org or 718-748-7404 x 5040 with any questions. Thank you.

Please complete your Family Income Inquiry Form online today at myschoolapps.com.  Our school is listed as 20K102. This form is used across the state to determine if your child qualifies for free or reduced price lunch. In the last several years, all NYC DOE schools have universal free lunch. 

The form is also used to determine Federal Title I funding.  We did not qualify for the Title I funding for the 2025/2026 school year.  Completion of this form determines our funding for the 2026/2027 school year. 

You only need to complete one form per family for all children in NYC Public Schools. We ask for 100% of our families to complete the form so that we have a chance to qualify for next year. It is almost one million dollars in funding.  Please include all financial information and add all family members living in the household.  If you have a high income and are sure you would not qualify - please complete the form anyway - you have an option to check off that you do not qualify/will not be providing financial information.  If you are receiving food stamps or state benefits you do not need to complete the form.  If you have any questions on this form, please contact Ms. Vazquez at bvazquez11@schools.nyc.gov Thanks!
