PVCICS Breakfast and Lunch Program
August 2023 Update -
All families are eligible for free meals during the 2023-2024 school year.
PVCICS will be doing a breakfast program for all students. This is a free meal program.
Families should still fill out the Free/Reduced Household Application if they belief they qualify. This lunch status does impact if you receive free transportation and school fees (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 must still fill out the form “Share Information” 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 during the 2023-2024 school year. We still encourage families to fill out a free/reduced lunch application if you believe you would qualify a free/reduced meal because this qualification could help with receiving benefits like a P-EBT card (see below for more information) and school related fees (transportation, athletics, high school tests, etc.).
If you have a gluten allergy or other dietary needs please provide a doctors note to the Food Services Department. Specials orders must be placed with our food vendor for these meals and the doctors note needs to be provided to the food vendor.
Families order meals for the month and the deadline to order is 10am on the last Monday of the month before. For example, October lunch orders are due the last Monday of September at 10am. Reminder emails are sent through Boonli during the ordering window. Please contact our office or email lunch@pvcics.org if you miss this deadline and would still like to order lunch.
Each meal comes with the entrée, 1% milk and a vegetable/fruit.
