Nutrition Services Update for 2023-24 School Year

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Thank you for your continued partnership and support as St. Vrain Valley Schools begins our new academic year. Nutrition Services is excited to share that all students will receive one free breakfast and lunch each school day through Colorado Department of Education’s Healthy School Meals for All program starting this school year.

Given this change, it is still important for St. Vrain Valley Schools to gather household income information to support after school activities and nutritional programs. All families who believe they may qualify for free or reduced-price meals are encouraged to fill out an application. Applications are continuously accepted and processed throughout the school year and families are invited to apply or reapply at any time. Families who qualify for free or reduced-price meals receive benefits including fee waivers for school and preschool programming, and discounts on SAT and ACT exams and college applications, utilities and internet service, and participation in community organizations like sports and YMCA programs.

St. Vrain schools also benefit when families submit their free or reduced-price meal applications. Schools receive an increase in federal dollars for student and classroom support, school programs during and after-school, preschool programs, technology, and additional snacks and meals at no cost to all families outside of normal school hours.

The application is completely confidential and not shared with any other agency or organization. Fill out an online application today.

St. Vrain Valley Schools’ Nutrition Services Department looks forward to another successful year serving our students, teachers, and staff. Please reach out to our department with questions at 303-702-7793 or [email protected].

Sincerely,

Department of Nutrition Services
