We are pleased to inform you that Interboro School District will be implementing a new provision known as the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) during the 2024-2025 school year. This program is available to schools and districts that are participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs.

All enrolled students of Interboro School District are eligible to receive a nutritional breakfast and lunch each school day 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. We encourage you to fill out an application for free / reduced meals after July 1, 2022. Approval for free / reduced meals can benefit your family and the district.

Meals must be complete for the district to claim them. Lunch must contain at least 3 of the 5 components and one must be a fruit or vegetable. The components are enriched grain, meat / meat alternate, milk, fruit and / or vegetable. Breakfast must contain 3 components, whole or enriched grain, fruit and milk.

New to the district is SchoolCafé for making online payments, setting purchase restrictions, viewing purchases, auto pay, and low balance alerts. Families may continue to utilize SchoolCafé (formerly My School Bucks) for purchasing snacks and paying for other school-related expenses.

If we can be of any further assistance, please contact Tara Taylor at 610-461-6700 ext. 1135 or Tara.Taylor@interborosd.org.

Here are some helpful links for valuable information regarding meal prices, menus, and access to SchoolCafé for payment.

Safe2Say Something is a youth violence prevention program run by the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General. The program teaches youth and adults how to recognize the warning signs and signals, especially within social media, from individuals who may be a threat to themselves or others and to “say something” BEFORE it is too late. Each year, students in 6th grade will receive an initial training and students in grades 7-12 will receive a mandatory refresher training on Safe2Say Something.
