What does this mean for you and your children being educated at a SVSU member
school?
Great news! All enrolled students who eat at a Southwest Vermont Supervisory Union member school are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household each day of the school year. Your child(ren) will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit a meal application. *
* The district will still be requesting Household Income Forms from households with a student participating in the CEP; however, receipt of free breakfast and lunch meals does not depend on returning it. Completing the application is still necessary for other programs and helps your community, your school and your property taxes. For example, your high school student may have college testing waived should your household be determined eligible for this additional benefit.
If you have any questions about this notification, please contact us at 802-447-7501.
Sincerely,
SVSU Food Service Programming Team
