New for 2024-2025

The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) means that all enrolled students of Citta, Pine Beach, South Toms River, and Walnut Street elementary schools are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no cost each day of the 2024-2025 school year. Families of these schools should see the CEP application posted below, which despite this automatic eligibility for the school year, must be completed in order to receive Summer EBT for 2025.
