CVSD Food Services

Conewago Valley School District (CVSD) recognizes that wellness and proper nutrition are related to students physical well-being, growth, development and readiness to learn. All foods available in the district schools during the day are offered to students with consideration for promoting student health and reducing childhood obesity. Foods provided through the National School Breakfast & Lunch Programs comply with federal nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act (HHFKA).
We will begin processing Free & Reduced applications for the 2018-2019 school year in the beginning of August 2018.  Interested families may fill out a Free/Reduced Priced Meal Application for their entire household and return it to the student’s school office at any time throughout the school year. If your application was denied, and you now have had a change in household income or household size, you may always reapply to see if you are eligible for benefits. 
Free and Reduced Lunch Program
Many families need financial assistance at various times throughout the school year. It is important to take advantage of programs that can help keep your children healthy and learning in spite of financial pressures. We encourage all families who are eligible for the Free and Reduced Meal program to apply, and to know that we are committed to protecting your privacy.
  • Children need healthy meals to learn. CVSD offers healthy meals every school day.
  • Children from low-income families may qualify for free lunches or for reduced-price lunches. Income guidelines change annually.
  • In addition, our schools can receive federal funding for reading intervention and other services when all eligible families apply.
  • Your privacy is protected by federal law, and our PIN-code entry system in all our cafeteria lines insures no one knows who is getting a free or discounted lunch.
  • Find out more about this program and whether your family is eligible by reading the rules and application on this web site.
  • Families could possibly take advantage of other discounted state programs 
  • Even when enrolled, you are under no obligation to participate each day, or ever.

Breakfast & Lunch Program
Each school in the district has a cafeteria that prepares nutritious meals daily. Students and adults in the elementary and secondary schools can purchase breakfast and lunches or students may bring a lunch from home and purchase milk in the cafeteria.

All students in grades K-12 may deposit money into an "account" to purchase meals and/or a la carte items through the district's point-of-sale system. Monthly menus are available to all students.

CAFETERIA PROCEDURE REGARDING STUDENTS' LUNCH ACCOUNTS
Parents are responsible for providing their children with lunch money or a packed lunch from home.  Parents are also encouraged to put money “on account” for their children in the district to utilize daily.  When children have money on their lunch account, it allows for a smoother process during lunchtime and can avoid money being misplaced or lost. Parents may write a check to CVSD Food Service, send cash, or make a payment online with debit, credit, or e-check via Skyward family access. Below are the procedures outlining the parameters of charges for school meals and are intended to set a process for collection of funds due to the district.

Grades K-6
Students in grades K-6 are given a written notification when their account balance reaches $5.00 or below.  In addition, emails and written reminders are sent home to parents when
a student's account balance is negative.  Students with a negative balance are able to purchase meals, but will be unable to purchase a la carte items.  If charging persists, parents will be notified accordingly, and debt is to be paid in a timely manner.
​
Grades 7-12
Students in grades 7-12 are verbally notified when their account balance reaches $5.00 or below. In addition, emails and written reminders are sent home to parents when a student's 
account balance is negative. Students with a negative balance are able to purchase meals, but will be unable to purchase a la carte items.  If charging persists, parents will be notified accordingly, and debt is to be paid in a timely manner.
