The National School Lunch Program:

The Colchester School District wants to encourages all families to complete an application for Free and Reduced Price school meals. This allows us to provide meal benefits to as many families as possible.

Often families are not aware that they may qualify for Free or Reduced Price meals. If your household's income falls within the income guidelines, your family may be eligible. Families receiving Reach Up or 3SquaresVT and most foster children are eligible for free meals regardless of income.
