Healthy School Meals for All

Free Breakfast & Lunch Program available at Carbon Valley Academy

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:

  • Please continue to fill out the Free and Reduced Price Lunch form.
  • While meals will be free to all St. Vrain students through Healthy School Meals for All, we need to continue gathering this information to receive full access to available federal funds that support nutritional programs at your school.
  • We ask all CVA K-8 families to complete the form during the 2023-24 school year registration. By providing this information, you will help our district access all available funds to cover the cost of meals and other nutritional programs for students. Families who fill out the form may also qualify to receive discounted school fees, utilities support, and more!
  • All household income information this form provides is strictly confidential and legally protected. Only one form is required for all children in the household. Immigration, migrant, citizenship, or refugee status is not required when completing the form.
