Free Breakfast and Lunch for Antietam School District Students
Antietam School District gives every one of its students one breakfast and one lunch at no cost each school day in the 2026-2027 school year.
All Antietam School District students qualify, and there is no application to fill out. The district is a CEP (Community Eligibility Provision) district, so it cannot accept lunch applications. It continues to be notified of Direct Certifications from the state. A prior year free or reduced status only covers the first 30 days of the 2026-2027 school year. Families may qualify for additional benefits beyond free meals at school.
Meals are served in the cafeterias of the district's schools: Stony Creek Elementary School, Kerry C. Hoffman Intermediate School and Antietam High School. The page does not list cafeteria serving times.
At registration, every child is assigned a student ID number they keep until graduation, and each child also receives a student ID badge or card. Students scan the badge or card at the cash register when they purchase meals. Elementary teachers keep their students' badges during the day. Intermediate and high school students must have their ID card or ID number with them in the lunch line in order to purchase meals. Assistance is provided at the cash registers of all school buildings for new students.
The free breakfast and lunch are the daily meals. A second meal costs money: breakfast is $3.10 for all students and $3.10 for adults, and lunch is $5.10 for all students and $5.10 for adults. A la carte items are sold at the Intermediate and High School and cannot be charged; they must be paid in cash or covered by money already in the student's account. If you want your child to be able to buy those extras, put money in their meal account.
Deposits made at the school are at no charge to process. Online deposits go through School Cafe at schoolcafe.com/ANTIETAMSD for a small fee, and online payments are credited to the student's Food Service Meal Account the same day. First time users click Create a new account and need the student's ID number.
To deposit at school: - Send cash or a check in a sealed envelope with the child's full name and the amount clearly printed on the outside. - List each student's name and amount separately if the envelope covers more than one student. - Make checks payable to the Antietam School District Cafeteria Fund. - Intermediate and senior high students put the envelope in the lockbox in their cafeteria before school starts or during the lunch period. - Elementary students may not have money in the lunch line; their sealed, labeled envelope goes in the black drop-box in the office before school.
Money left in an account stays in the child's account for the next school year. A graduating senior's balance is refunded, or if you choose, transferred to a sibling or donated; notify the district in writing which option you want, by email to mhahn@antietamsd.org.
For a food allergy, the school nurse will only notify cafeteria staff after receiving a "Medical Plan of Care for School Food Service" form completed by your child's healthcare provider, and an incomplete form will delay processing. Download the form from the district website or ask your school nurse for a copy. For a milk or dairy allergy the milk substitute is soy milk only, and free soy milk is provided as part of the meal only if the student is purchasing a lunch. Soy milk is available for purchase if your child packs a lunch. Fruit juice cannot be substituted for milk, and bottled water is not a substitute but may be purchased at an additional charge.
Questions about the food service system go to Maria Hahn at (610) 779-2606, option 8, or mhahn@antietamsd.org. The district's general number is (610) 779-0554. If you speak Spanish, language assistance services, free of charge, are available; contact your child's school.
