Food & Nutrition Update

All Fonda-Fultonville Central School District students are eligible to receive FREE school meals (1 breakfast and 1 lunch per day), regardless of family income, through the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). Additional meals, snacks and a la carte items will still need to be paid for. Students will be able to purchase those items with cash or funds available on their LINQ Connect accounts.

No application is required; however families should complete this Household Income Eligibility Form(HHIE). The data gathered from this form can qualify students for additional benefits and allows the district to receive additional state and federal funding. The online form only requires an income range and is confidential.

For questions about CEP or the HHIE form, please contact: Vicki Palmer at (518) 853-3732, ext. 4260 or by email at vpalmer@ffcsd.org.

Payment System

The district has utilizes a payment system, called TITAN School Solutions, where you can make online payments for your students’ meals. The district has worked with the TITAN School Solutions to ensure that funds that were in your previous accounts have been transferred to the new payment system.

As part of this process, you must go to https://family.titank12.com and make a new account in order to continue making payments towards your students’ meals. You can also submit a meal application through TITAN School Solutions for the current school year. Click on “Sign up today!” to begin the process of making a new account and be sure to have the following information to successfully link your student(s) to your account:

  *   First Name
  *   Last Name
