CEP/Free and Reduced Meals

All students in Grades K-12 receive free breakfast and lunch every day through the Community Eligibility Program (CEP).

Families with students in grades 6-12 are encouraged to fill out a CEP Household Income Eligibility Form. Qualifying families could help the district with funding eligibility based on need at CMS and CHS.

Student Accounts

All students in grades K-12 have an account, which can be funded to purchase ala carte items. Cash, checks or money orders are accepted, as well as online payment. Families can make checks payable to “Cohoes Lunch Fund” and include with payment the child’s account number and child’s full name. Students may also use cash to purchase meals and/or snacks.

Online Payment

The district is no longer using MySchoolBucks as its online payment vendor. All account balances have been automatically transferred to our new vendor, K12 Payment Center.

Sign up and access your K12 Payment Center account.

K12 Payment Center also has an app available for iOS and Android devices, allowing families to easily check their balances, add funds to their accounts and track purchases.
