Ramadan Meal Observance Overview We are pleased to share important information regarding meal accommodations for students observing Ramadan in 2025. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has approved a waiver allowing schools in New Jersey to provide non-congregate meals to students fasting during Ramadan. This means that eligible students can receive lunch in a manner that aligns with their religious observance beginning the week of Monday, March 3, 2025, through Friday, March 28, 2025. Program Guidelines: Who is eligible? Only students who are fasting during Ramadan may receive non-congregate meals. Meal distribution: Meals will be available for pick-up after school only for students who attend school that day. The location will be determined and communicated from the individual school. No duplicate meals: Students who receive a non-congregate meal cannot also receive a meal during the school day. Meal eligibility: Meals will be provided based on Free, Reduced, or Paid eligibility. Meal limits: Only one meal may be provided per student per day. School days only: Meals will only be available on weekdays when school is in session. Participation flexibility: If a student chooses to consume a meal during the school day and then participates in the non-congregate meal, the appropriate charges will incur. If you do not wish to participate, no action is required. *PLEASE NOTE: If you register for a meal, and then need to cancel for any reason, please email Food Services at food.service@edison.k12.nj.us to inform them of the cancellation. A meal order must be completed for each child.
