All meals will be free with the Healthy Meals For All program. Students need to take a fully reimbursable meal to meet the criteria for a free meal. Additional meals per student will be charged according to the rate schedule listed below.

Free and Reduced Form

It is important to promptly fill out the free and reduced form. Approvals help provide district funding. If your student is in a fall sport, please complete the form before July 31st. If approved, this will also waive any middle school and high school athletic fees and band uniform cleaning for your students.

Meal Payments

If your child brings lunch money to the school, the elementary school students can give it to their teachers first thing in the morning. Middle and high school students need to turn it in at the office before lunch time.

School Lunch Menu Changes

Platte Valley families, the Food Service program is doing our best to serve our menus as posted each day.

Due to many shortages across the country in food supplies and staffing we often get hit hard with outages on products we use as well as staples when making our scratch items.

We may have to change our menu from time to time on the spur of the moment to continue to serve the students the meals that they deserve. But please know that your students are still receiving a nutritious meal that meets the guidelines as instructed.

Thank you for your patience and understanding in these matters.
