As families prepare for the upcoming school year, the Salamanca City Central School District (SCCSD) has announced exciting news: all students enrolled for the 2025-2026 school year will receive FREE school supplies and meals.
In keeping with its commitment to support families, SCCSD will provide essential school supplies—including notebooks, pens, pencils, paper, and more—at no cost. Parents and guardians will only need to supply a pair of sneakers for gym class and a bookbag.
“We’re proud to fulfill our promise to families,” said Theresa Ray, School Board President. “By covering the cost of supplies, we’re helping ease the financial burden and ensuring every child starts the school year prepared.”
In addition to free school supplies, the district will also offer FREE breakfast and lunch to every student starting September 2, 2025, the first day of school. This is made possible by the USDA’s Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), which allows qualifying districts to provide meals at no charge to all students—no forms or applications required.
With school just around the corner, SCCSD is making it easier than ever for families to start the year strong.
