FOOD SERVICE:
Good news! Breakfast and lunch will be FREE FOR ALL STUDENTS again this year. If a student would like a second meal or just milk, that can be purchased with funds on the child's account.
Please take a few minutes to complete the Educational Benefits Application at the link below. While all students receive free school meals, this form plays a critical role in determining the federal funding Otsego Public Schools receives to support students and programs. Families who qualify may also be eligible for discounts on Chromebook fees and insurance, AP exam fees, SAT testing, and other educational expenses.
