Your child automatically qualifies for free meals at our schools

Please take advantage of this wonderful benefit to support our school and community

Thanks to Vermont’s universal meals program, school breakfast & lunch are free for all students, and we strongly encourage your child to participate!

Here is why having your child eat breakfast & lunch at school daily helps the whole district:

Our funding depends on your participation: We only receive state and federal funds when students actually get a meal. These funds are essential to pay our hardworking staff, their benefits, and cover food, supplies, and equipment costs so we do not have to rely on additional funds from the general fund.
We can invest better: Serving more meals means we can invest in better quality ingredients and buy more from local Vermont producers.
It’s truly for everyone: You won't be "taking a meal away" from a family in need. Every single meal served helps sustain our Food & Nutrition Program for everyone!
