Free and Reduced Breakfast and Lunch Application Info
 
The Dunellen School District offers free and reduced meal prices for those families who qualify, which is determined by completing a free and reduced meal application.
 
For the 2022-2023 school year, the application will be available for completion online.  This application is also used to determine eligibility for P-EBT benefits, and state funding.  You must complete the online application to receive these benefits.  
 
Please read the Letter to Parents  for meal prices and general information on filling out the free and reduced meal application.  The Letter to Parents is also available in Spanish .
 
Below is a direct link to the online application as well as step-by-step instructions to assist with the application process:
How to pay for your child's Meals
 
Online
Dunellen School District offers Payschools for our parents to fund student cafeteria accounts.  
 
Sign In To PaySchools
 
Features:
  • The meal process is automated for both parents and the school so errors are minimized and the process is standardized.
  • Using Payschools  there is not a chance of lost lunch money from home to the serving lines!
  • Payments can be made by credit card 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at the parents’ convenience.
  • Payments can also be made by ACH (Electronic Check). 
  • Parents can review what their students are actually purchasing along with account balance information.
 
Cash or Check

During the school year, you may send a check or money order payable to “Dunellen Board of Education” in an envelope to the attention of the “Cafeteria”.  For security reasons, we recommend that these payments be sent in one of these two forms.  Please make sure you put the following information on the sealed envelope:  

Child’s name - School Teacher & Grade - Amount of Money Enclosed

  This envelope can be delivered to the cashier when paying for their meal  during their breakfast or lunch period . 

 
The Dunellen School District is working with Maschio's Food Services to keep our students healthy and safe.  If your child has food allergies, Maschio's can offer a substitute meal plan.  Please visit our Support Page for Parents of Children with Allergies.
