Dear Parent or Guardian:

We are pleased to inform you that Shamokin Area School District will still be participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP).   This program is available to schools/districts who are participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. 

All enrolled students of Shamokin Area School District and those attending the NCCTC are eligible to receive a nutritional breakfast and lunch every day at the school at no charge to your household.

No further action is required of you. Your child(ren) will be able to participate in these meal programs without paying a fee or submitting an application.

The District will still be offering ala carte items and students will be required to pay for those purchases.

All previous debts will remain with student until paid in full. You can see if your child(ren) have a previous balance by checking the Parent Portal under fees.

If we can be of any further assistance, please contact us at Café Office at 570-648-5731 Ext. 3652.

Sincerely,

 Shannon Chesney
