GFSD Food Service news: Student meals are free for all, no matter your family’s status!
Welcome back to a healthy and delicious year with Food Services in Glens Falls City Schools!
Meals remain FREE to ALL students in Glens Falls City Schools, UPK through Grade 12! This includes full breakfast and lunch meals for students in all schools.
Students will still provide their lunch code when going through the cafeteria line, even though complete meals are free.
A la carte items are offered in the MS/HS. Beverages and snack items will be available for students to purchase using their lunch code.
Lunch menus are available for each school in the upper right column of this web page. Please note that some food items originally scheduled to be served may not be available, due to supply chain shortages. We will do our best to substitute any items that become unavailable.
Parents/guardians should use www.linqconnect.com to add money to their child’s meal account if they will be purchasing a la carte items (beyond the free, complete student meals).
Glens Falls City Schools use www.linqconnect.com for all cafeteria purchases and student meal accounts. Students simply type in their cafeteria lunch code when getting their food, and purchases beyond the one free complete meal are debited from the account electronically. Parents need to create an account with www.linqconnect.com and link their children in order to make online payments to meal accounts. For help in setting up an account, call Food Services Director Kerri Sanders at 518-798-1910.
The Food Services team takes pride in serving nutritionally-balanced, varied, and tasty menu items in each school cafeteria. We look forward to what Aramark will bring to our lunch tables in the coming year!
Students at GFSD are given an account with a PIN number to press on a keypad in the lunch line when purchasing lunch, milk, or other food items. Each month’s menu offerings for breakfast and lunch are available on the district’s web site.
Charging school meals
It is the District’s goal to provide students with access to nutritious no- or low-cost meals each school day and to ensure that a student whose parent/guardian has unpaid meal charges is not shamed or treated differently than a student whose parent/guardian does not have unpaid meal charges.
