Free Lunch Applications

After three years, the federal law providing pandemic-era child nutrition expired on June 30. This means starting this fall, students are expected to pay for their lunch at the time of service unless designated eligible for free or reduced-price meals. Free breakfast will still be available to everyone.


To be considered for free lunch, families will need to fill out an application to qualify their children for free, reduced-price or paid meals. Families please complete a meal benefits application as soon as possible to determine eligibility for free and reduced-price lunch. Applications must be submitted each school year. To apply, visit the Food and Nutrition Services website.


**If you completed Early Bird Registration, you must go back and complete this application separately. All families registering now will find the application in their online registration process.

COVID-19 Guidance


Per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance, and unlike last year, students and employees who have COVID-19 do not need to test for the virus and then get a negative rapid at home test in order to return to school or work. We ask that symptomatic individuals please return on day six and wear a mask from day six to day 10. We still encourage vaccines and booster shots. As of June 30, COVIDCheck Colorado is no longer in existence. DPS is hosting two cost-free PCR testing sites. There are several other cost-free PCR testing sites in Denver county and in areas surrounding Denver.


Keeping Our Students Healthy

Families make decisions every day to protect their children, and now COVID-19 vaccines are available at no charge to protect all children six months and older. Medical officials have shared that vaccinations provide the best defense against serious outcomes related to COVID-19. Please share this information so families can ensure that their children have all immunizations that are required by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment before the first day of school. Families can get immunizations and sports physicals at Denver Health's 19 School-Based Health Centers located on school campuses.
