Important Information » Lunch

Lunch

Lunch lasts 55 minutes and is split between time to eat and recess (weather permitting). All students in grades K-5 eat in the school cafeteria. Lunch is free for all NYC Public School students.
 
Students may bring lunch from home. Please:
  • Do not pack food in glass containers or anything that requires heating.
  • If sending a home-cooked meal, please do so at morning drop-off.
  • Fast food (e.g., McDonald's, Burger King) is not considered a home-cooked meal and is not permitted.
 
To avoid disruptions, we strongly discourage lunch drop-offs during the school day unless it is an emergency.
