Free and reduced meals
Canajoharie Centrals School participates in the federally sponsored free or reduced cost meal program. Parents are encouraged to submit the free and reduced application (PDF). Even if you do not qualify at the beginning in the school year, you may apply or reapply at any time if your status changes. Families must file a new application each school year.
How do you apply for free and reduced meals?

If you receive food stamps or TANF you may ask for a Direct Certification Letter from the Office of Social Services OR you may complete a free/reduced meals application and supply us with your food stamp case # or TANF case #.

If you have a Direct Certification Letter no application is needed. Just forward the letter to the school.
