Summer Food Program

With the continuation of federal funding to provide meals for school-age children, the Malone Central School District will again be offering meal pickups this summer. All children under the age of 18 are eligible to receive 7 days worth of meals each week we are running the program. Meals will be available for pickup each Tuesday from July 13th through August 17th, between the hours of 11:00 AM and 12:30 PM at Franklin Academy.

To sign up for the meal program, please complete this short form.

Free Breakfast & Lunch for All Students

Recent federal and state decisions now allow the District to serve seven days of free meals per week to all students ages 18 and under through the next school year. This decision is subject to change at the federal government’s discretion. The District still requires that households complete applications for free and reduced meals as usual and return them as soon as possible. Meals will be provided at no cost.

Even though meals for all students will be free through June 30, 2021, you should still complete a Free/Reduced Breakfast/Lunch Application so that these arrangements are in place for your student when the federal program comes to an end. Please do not wait to do so. That application can be found in the next section down on this webpage. If you have a change in employment status at any point in this school year, please complete a new Application

Meal Delivery:

Meal kits will be delivered to your home on Wednesday each week. On Wednesdays you will receive 3 or 5 days’ worth of meals corresponding to your hybrid remote days and 7 days if you are fully remote.

Meal Delivery Form:

Parents/Guardians need to complete a Fall 2020 Meal Delivery Form to arrange deliveries. If you have any questions on completing the meal application, please contact Amanda Dishaw at adishaw@maloneschools.org or 518-483-7800 opt 3.

Bus Transportation for the 2021-2022 School Year

Parent Town Hall Meetings

In order to give parents and guardians a chance to ask questions about our district's reopening plan, we held three live streamed meetings on Monday, August 17th, at different times through the day. Superintendent Jerry Griffin started each one with some brief remarks about the plan, and then answered questions that were submitted prior to and during the forums. He attempted to deal with different questions in each of the three, so all three have different content. Use the links below to watch the recordings.

There were many questions about social distancing in classrooms. Please watch this video to see what this will look like in our district.
