Dear Agawam Families,
We have been informed by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) that, due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits will not be distributed for the month of November. Beginning November 1, more than one million Massachusetts residents—including many families with school-aged children—will experience a delay in receiving their monthly SNAP benefits until the shutdown is resolved. Please know that our schools remain fully committed to ensuring every student has access to nutritious meals each day.
Please know, Agawam Public Schools will continue to offer free breakfast and lunch to all students, everyday. There is no paperwork needed or income verification. Free meals for all students will continue to be provided and are not affected by the Government shutdown at this time.
