Important Information for the 2025-26 School Year
Mayfield Central School District has implemented a meal certification option in our schools under the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program called the Community Eligibility Provision.
This means all students enrolled at Mayfield Central School District are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household each day of the 2025-2026 school year.
View Mayfield’s 2025-26 School Meal Program Letter to Parents for more information.
We are asking all families to fill out the Household Income Eligibility Form. This form collects basic information about your students and is helpful information that contributes to providing additional money and services directly to our school.
If your child wants additional food beyond what is provided, extra meals, snacks, and drinks are available for purchase in the cafeteria. They will need to have money on their meal account or cash/check in hand for such items. Milk will continue to be available for purchase.

Breakfast
All students are able to get one free breakfast every school day.
Breakfast is served every school day at the Elementary School from 8:15 to 9 a.m. If an Elementary student arrives after the instructional day begins, they can grab a “to-go” breakfast and head right to class.
Breakfast is served every school day at the Jr/Sr High School from 7:25 to 7:45 a.m. Breakfast will not be available to Jr/Sr High students if they arrive after the instructional day begins.
Research shows that children who eat breakfast:
- Show improvement in math, reading, and standardized test scores.
- Establish healthier habits for later in life.
- Have fewer absences and incidences of tardiness.
- More likely to behave better in school.
- Consume more calcium, fiber, folate, and protein.
Pricing for extra meals/milk
- Lunch Special (extra meal): $1.25
- Student Milk (district-wide): $.65

Meal Modifications Statement
Mayfield CSD ensures that children with disabilities are given equal access to school meal programs (National School Lunch & School Breakfast) and can receive necessary dietary modifications at no extra cost, if a disability prevents them from fully participating in the existing menu.
Parents/guardians must submit a medical statement from a licensed healthcare provider detailing the impairment, required food substitutions, and other relevant information. The document also includes nondiscrimination information, guides on requesting accommodations, and instructions for filing complaints under USDA civil rights regulations.
See the Meal Modifications Statement for details on dietary accommodations.
