Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are pleased to remind you that all students in the Pittston Area School District are eligible to receive a free breakfast and lunch every school day. This program is available to every student, regardless of family income, and ensures that all children have access to nutritious meals prepared daily by our food service staff.
Please note that due to the recent freeze on SNAP benefit adjustments, families may experience delays or temporary pauses in updates to their benefits. The free meal program at Pittston Area Schools remains active and unaffected by these changes, so every student will continue to receive breakfast and lunch at no cost.
We encourage all students to take advantage of this opportunity and enjoy healthy meals at school.

Sincerely,
Pittston Area School District Administration
