Breakfast Availability and Free/Reduced Lunch Application
Dear Westbrook Families,
Please review the following important updates from the Food Services Department. We look forward to providing nutritious meals for your children during the upcoming school year.
In accordance with legislation signed by Governor Lamont (Public Act 26-68) all students are eligible to receive one complimentary breakfast per day for the 2026/2027 school year. In addition, students who qualify for reduced-price meals will now receive lunch at no cost. Your child’s current lunch status will remain the same for 30 school days. After the 30 days you
will be charged the full lunch price unless you are directly certified through the state(participating in SNAP or Husky A) or a free/reduced application is submitted and you are approved.
If you believe your household may qualify for these benefits, please complete a Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application. An application was included in each summer informational packet. Spanish and Portuguese translated applications are available on the district website under “Food Services” as well as additional copies in English. Please complete your free and reduced application, seal in an envelope, and address to Anne Trotta. You can bring it to your child’s main school office or return by mail to 156 McVeagh Road, Westbrook, CT, 06498. Notifications regarding approval or denial will be sent via email. Your personal information will remain confidential. For help with filling out the application please contact Anne Trotta, Food Service Director, via email at atrotta@westbrookctschools.org or by telephone at 860-399-6214. Translation services are available if needed at no cost.
It is extremely important to fill out a free/reduced application if you believe you qualify. This helps to keep costs low and secure funding for the district. If approved, your children will qualify for free or reduced-cost funding waivers for testing, such as SATs, standardized testing, and college application fees, as well as reduced-cost field trip prices. You will also be able to participate in the Holiday Giving program and summer employment opportunities.
Due to rising food costs there is a slight increase in lunch prices. The following prices begin at the start of this school year.
Breakfast: Free for all students!!
Full Price Lunch:
Daisy-$3.25
WMS-$3.50
WHS-$3.75
Westbrook Public Schools utilizes MySchoolBucks for account management, allowing families to add funds, pay for, and monitor transaction histories. This platform serves as the primary method for reviewing your child's meal account details. You will need your child's student ID to create their account. There is a fee of $3.75 per transaction using your credit/debit card. You can also submit payments via cash or check made payable to "Westbrook Lunch Account."
