The School Food Service program, operating on a self-sustaining basis,
provides breakfast at the High School and full hot and cold lunches in
all elementary and secondary schools. A monthly menu lists the daily
lunch offerings, which include a choice of entrees, one-half pint of
milk, vegetables, salads, fruits and desserts.
The West Islip Public Schools believe that one of the most important
ways in which we can help our children perform better in their
classrooms is to provide them with the nutrition necessary for the
healthy growth of their minds and bodies. Therefore, we provide lunch in
our schools every day.
We invite all students to show their support for their school food
service program through frequent participation.
Students may buy lunch for $1.75 in elementary schools or $2.25 in
secondary schools. The cost of 20 elementary meals is $35.00 and the
cost of 20 secondary meals is $45.00. The elementary school year plan is
$315.00, the middle school year plan is $391.50 and high school year
plan is $405.00
A monthly menu lists the daily lunch offerings, which include a choice
of entrees, sandwiches, milks, fruits and vegetables.

Stamps, TANF or other benefits, applications may be resubmitted.
