More than 10,000 students in Tompkins County, NY, have access to school meals, and this school year (2025 - 26), all meals are FREE!
We are proud to be part of the School Food Reboot program, a partnership with the Chef Ann Foundation, the Park Foundation, and six school districts in Tompkins County, NY, dedicated to improving our meal programs. In addition to offering healthy, scratch-made, locally sourced meals, every school in Tompkins County, NY, features a fresh salad bar stocked with high-quality ingredients.

Just a friendly reminder to the #LionPride that there is no school on Thursday, 10/2/25, in both the DCSD and at TST BOCES.

Students and Families,
Please keep in mind when dropping off and picking up students at any of our five schools, that all DCSD schools sit within a School Speed Limit Zone that usually takes effect by 7:00 AM and ends at 6:00 PM. Speed Limits in these zones across the District vary from 15 mph to 25 mph and are set by the NYS Department of the Transportation and enforced by local law enforcement.
Other Important Safety Reminders for Drop Off and Pick Up at DCSD Schools:
*The first day will ALWAYS take longer to pick up and drop off. Plan Ahead. Many people drop off and pick up on the First Day who will not normally do so. Please be patient. Follow signage and the directions of the staff. There are reasons why signs, arrows, and people are placed where they are for pick-up and drop off. We promise by the end of the middle of next week, it will be smooth process at all schools.
*Please be sure to watch out for students at bus stops and in crosswalks at all four campuses
*Please be sure to watch out for students on bikes
