School Nutrition
Students need healthy meals to learn. All schools within Windham Southeast Supervisory Union offer healthy meals every school day. In School Year 2023-2024, all students will receive free breakfast and lunch at school.
We are pleased to inform you that Windham Southeast Supervisory Union will be implementing a new program available to schools participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs called the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP).
What does this mean for you and your children attending the school(s) identified below? Great news! All enrolled students of Academy School, Brattleboro Union High School, Brattleboro Area Middle School, Dummerston Elementary School, Green Street School, Guilford Central School, Oak Grove School, Putney Central School and Vernon Elementary 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 to determine eligibility for additional programs that students, schools may qualify for Early College waivers, eligibility to operate school-wide Title 1 program, and e-rate eligibility and may be used to determine if your household is eligible for any additional benefits.
If you have any questions about this letter, please contact Susan Grabowski, Food Program Coordinator, at sgrabowski@wsedvt.org
