AOS 93 has one or more schools that participate in Special Provision II or Community Eligible Provision for school meals. This alternative is referred to as Provision II or CEP. All students enrolled in schools listed below may participate in the School Breakfast Program and the National School Lunch Program at no charge. Household applications are not required to receive free meals this year but Economic Status Forms will be distributed by the school to collect household income data for other programs that require this information, such as Federal Title programs. The Economic Status Forms are also available in the online registration on the "Agreements" page.
All students will be served breakfast and lunch at no charge at Bristol Consolidated, Great Salt Bay, Jefferson Village, Nobleboro Central and South Bristol Schools. For additional information please contact your student's school.
Studies show that children who are not hungry perform better in school. By providing both breakfast and lunch at no cost to students, we are helping to create a better learning environment.
The school meals that we serve follow U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines for healthy school meals. The School Breakfast and Lunch Programs cannot succeed without your support; please encourage your children to participate in the school meals programs.
The application requesting economic information supports many programs at our schools which helps reduce the local tax. Please complete and return the forms. Only one per family is needed.

GOAL!!! Do you love the game of soccer as much as we do? We can't wait for the fall sports season to start and for the kids to get back on the pitch.
