Lunch/Breakfast
All Teaneck children may eat lunch in school. In addi-
tion, breakfast is available at all schools. The Board of
Education has retained Maschio’s as its food service
management company.
Teaneck participates in the National Lunch Program
through which children may purchase low-cost lunches,
breakfast and milk, and may be eligible for free or re-
duced-price meals. A la carte offerings or a balanced,
complete meal are available at lunch and break-
fast. Students eligible for free/reduced-price lunch
qualify for free/reduced-price breakfast. Applications
for free/reduced-price meals are sent home with chil-
dren on the first day of school and must be returned by
September 13th. If you do not receive an application,
please call the school your child attends. Children who
were receiving free/reduced lunch/breakfast as of June
2017 will continue to receive free/reduced-price lunch/
breakfast through the month of September only. A new
application must be filled out in order for them to con-
tinue receiving their free/reduced lunch/breakfast after
October 1st. If a new application is not filled out by
October 1st, the free/reduced benefits will be terminat-
ed.
We will continue to offer the Online Meal Prepayment
System, which is an easy and secure online prepayment
service where parents can deposit money into their
child’s school meal account, view their account bal-
ance, and check their eating history report. The link is:

The lunch price for K-4 children will be $2.70. Middle
school students will pay $2.85 for lunch. High school
students will pay $3.20 for lunch. The reduced-price
lunch is 45 cents. A complete breakfast for K-4 stu-
dents is $1.40 and $1.65 for those in grades 5-12. The
reduced price is 35 cents. Deli sandwiches are availa-
ble at the high school. All schools have salads, fresh
fruits and other nutritionally appropriate foods.
The high school and middle schools use a personalized
identification system through which students scan their ID
badges or use a PIN code to purchase lunch/breakfast
items. This enables them to buy items whether using their
pre-paid account or paying with cash.
School Closings
In the event of snow or other hazardous weather condi-
tions, the Teaneck Public Schools may announce a NO-
SCHOOL DAY or a DELAYED OPENING.
Announcements are made by 6:30 a.m. on radio stations:
WCBS (880 AM) and WINS (1010 AM); TV stations:
Channels 2, 4, 5, 7, Cablevision Channel 12 and FiOS 1

The decision about keeping children home in bad weather
(when schools are open) is up to the parent/guardian. If
students are absent in such circumstances, teachers will
make every effort to help them make up work that has
been missed.
Please notify your staff of the following scheduling proce-
dures in event of a snow day. Please be advi
