Welcome to October! The Food Service Department is excited to share our October breakfast and lunch menus with you. We remain committed to serving tasty, well-balanced meals that give our students the energy they need to thrive throughout the school day.

As a reminder, all students are eligible for one free breakfast and one free lunch every school day, regardless of household income.

Even though daily meals are provided at no cost, we strongly encourage all families to complete and submit the annual Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application as well as the SNAP Benefits Application.

Filling out these applications helps in several crucial ways:

- Approved applications help secure critical federal and state funding for our school programs, academic resources, and support services.

- Qualifying families may become eligible for additional benefits.

- Accurate application data ensures our district continues to receive maximum support for future meal programs.

You can find the October Breakfast Menu and October Lunch Menu on the District website: https://www.tburgschools.org/o/trumansburg/page/food-services

Application forms for the Free and Reduced-Price Meal Program and SNAP Benefits are available online through the district portal. All information submitted is strictly confidential.

Thank you for your partnership in keeping our students healthy and ready to learn! We look forward to feeding you!

Sincerely,
Rose Beardsley

High school students spent their last day of classes connecting with each other at our all-school picnic last week! Seniors started the day off with some good natured class pranks and ended it creating a Class of 2026 handprint mural together. With the year coming to a close this week, we will miss this group of students...

As we move into warmer weather, we want to remind families of our district protocol for extreme heat. We are closely monitoring temperatures in all classrooms and making adjustments to schedules and learning spaces as needed.

Our priority during these warmer days is the safety and comfort of our students and staff. In accordance with New York State law, schools must take specific precautions during extreme heat conditions, and we are committed to meeting those requirements.

Building leaders at the elementary and high school levels have identified alternative air‑conditioned locations should any classrooms become too warm. The middle school is fully air‑conditioned, and temperatures there remain stable. If extreme heat ever prevents us from safely maintaining in‑person learning, the district will provide families with as much advance notice as possible.

Below you will find a chart outlining the Trumansburg School District’s extreme heat protocol and the measures we take to keep our school community safe and comfortable.
