PVCICS Breakfast and Lunch Program
All studentss are eligible for free breakfast and lunch meals during the school year, regardless of economic status.
Families should fill out the Free/Reduced Household Application (if they are not already receiving benefits or listed in the state Direct Certification system) to see if qualify for free school based fees (transportation, athletics, field trips, SAT testing, etc.).
Families that are approved for Free/Reduced meal priced based on the Household Application or being on the state website Direct Certification still needs to fill out the form “Share Information” (see below link) so your student can receive this benefit for other school fee based programs (bus, sports, high school tests, etc.).
All PVCICS families are eligible for a free school breakfast and lunch the school year. We still encourage families to fill out a free/reduced lunch application because this qualification could help with receiving benefits like a Summer EBT card (see below for more information) and school related fees (transportation, athletics, high school tests, etc.).
Families order meals for the month through our online ordering system “Boonli”. Please see above section “Online Ordering” for more information on how to order meals.
Each meal comes with the entrée, 1% milk and a vegetable/fruit.
