Dear Parents and Caregivers,

The Ayer Shirley Regional School District is pleased to announce our participation in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) of the National School Lunch Program. This special provision allows our schools to provide breakfast and lunch at no cost for all students at the federal level (less financial burden on the state and Massachusetts taxpayers), and families are no longer required to complete an application to access meal benefits for students enrolled in CEP schools. In fact, families with students in CEP schools should NOT fill out meal benefit applications. 

As always, we are grateful for the opportunity to provide nourishing and healthy meals to all Ayer Shirley students, so please contact us with any questions or concerns.

Best,
Joe Ricci
Director of Food & Nutrition
