All students at Carbon Valley Academy will have access to free, healthy, nutritious school meals beginning in the 2023-24 school year, thanks to the Health School Meals for All program approved by Colorado voters.
Here is some additional information and a few important reminders about what this means for our schools and families:
Each student is welcome to enjoy one free BREAKFAST and one free LUNCH each day!
Additional portions can be purchased through the new St. Vrain Valley School District’s RevTrack.
If enrolled, students will have the option of eating a healthy breakfast when they arrive.
Lunch
Students receiving lunch will have access to a healthy meal provided by the school.
Flexibility
Our meal programs offer flexibility for students across all grades and transportation modes.
If you have not yet completed the requested income forms (Free and reduced Meal Application), please do so! This application helps us to ensure the district receives appropriate funding both in the classroom (general fund) and at meal time (meal program fund)!

My child rides the bus. Can they still receive breakfast?
Yes! As students arrive at CVA, they can receive breakfast and eat it at the tables provided, or they can go to their line to wait for the school day to start if they do not want breakfast. Kindergarten and 1st-grade students will be escorted to their classrooms once they are finished eating; all other students will wait in the gymnasium after eating to be dismissed for 8 o’clock arrival.
I will drop off my students. Can they still receive breakfast?
Kinder & 1st grade:
Students will be escorted through the front doors by staff to their classrooms to drop off their belongings, and a staff member will take them to receive breakfast.
2nd-8th Grade:
Starting at 7:45, students who would like to receive breakfast can exit vehicles and enter the gymnasium via the south doors (blacktop area) to receive breakfast; they will sit at the provided tables to enjoy their meal before heading to their classroom.
How will my child receive lunch?
Students receiving lunch will line up in the cafeteria to receive their meal; they will key in their 6-digit student number provided to them by their teacher so they can receive their lunch!
Staff will also be available to help students with this aspect as we acclimate to the new process. This information is also available via the Parent Portal on Infinite Campus. They will receive their lunch and enjoy it!
