Apply for School Meals Online!

http://www.nyc.gov/accessnyc
Visit www.nyc.gov/accessnyc to apply for School Meals online.
Q. Why should I return an application if I am NOT eligible for free or reduced-price meals?
A. The application is also used to determine the amount of State funding our schools receive for supplies such as books, classroom furniture and other resources. If you feel that you are not eligible for free or reduced-price meals then check the box next to the statement I do not qualify for free or reduced-price meals.
Families only need to submit one application online for all their children, even if their children attend different types of schools (public, private or charter). If families have any questions about the application, they can send an email to OSCompliance@schools.nyc.gov or call the Office of School Food Help Desk at (718) 707-4400 to be directed appropriately.

Is your child playing a sport at I.C.E. this year or joining a team? We must have a consent form from you and a physical examination documented by a doctor. Download/print these forms and return them to your child's Advisor or Kellie Woodson, the Atheltic Director, a.s.a.p.
