The following schools are Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) schools this year where all students receive free meals: East Derry Elementary, Lewistown Elementary, Strodes Mills Elementary and Lewistown Intermediate.

Parents of students who are not Direct Certified for free/reduced meals and do not attend a CEP school are responsible for paying for their student’s school lunches or for applying for free/reduced-price school meals.
