School Lunches Update

High School lunches are $3.00 each day. A la carte items from other food lines are available at an additional cost.

Students with a negative food account balance of $5.00 or more cannot add the additional a la carte items from the alternative food lines to their meals. The daily lunch menu meal will still be available for these students.

If your student has a negative account balance, which can be viewed in Skyward, you may deposit funds to their account using the online Revtrak system (Deposit Meal Account Funds Online) or by sending a check with your student to school. Please make checks payable to “Central York School District.” Checks may be given to the cashiers in the cafeteria for deposit into the student’s food services account. If you cannot log in to Skyward, please email familyaccess@cysd.k12.pa.us to update your contact information or reset your account password.

Please complete the Free and Reduced Meal Program application if you need assistance, Free and Reduced Meal Program. If you need additional information or assistance, don't hesitate to contact your student's school counselor or assistant principal.

AP Exam registration forms for second semester AP classes were distributed to students in early February. The cost for each exam is $99. Students must pay a non-refundable deposit of $40 per each exam ordered. The registration form and deposit monies are due in the School Counseling Office by 3 p.m. on Thursday, March 6.

Testing accommodations on the PSAT, SAT, and AP Exams

Students who receive testing accommodations (like extended time or extra breaks) on their classroom tests and Keystones also can request to have these accommodations for College Board tests (PSAT, SAT, and AP exams). Students must ask their school counselor for the consent form.
