All household income information provided to the school district is strictly confidential and protected by law. Only one application is required for all children in the household. Families do not need to provide immigration, migrant, citizenship, or refugee status information when completing the form. Participation in these programs is available regardless of immigration status. We encourage all families to complete the form each school year to help ensure students, families, and schools continue to receive valuable resources and support.
Your Information is Protected
Completing the form helps:
-
Support school meal programs and offset the cost of providing nutritious meals to students.
-
Fund after-school programs, educational resources, and additional student support services.
-
Connect eligible families with benefits such as discounted school fees, class materials, transportation assistance, utility support programs, and more.
Just as in previous years, families are encouraged to provide their household income information to the school district. While meals are provided at no cost to all students through Colorado's Healthy School Meals for All program, this information remains essential to ensuring schools receive the full amount of federal funding available to support students and families.
