School Lunch
St. Vrain Community Montessori School offers school lunch through the St. Vrain Valley School District’s Department of Nutrition Services. When available, district lunches are prepared with in-season, local organic fruits and vegetables and delivered the very same day. Nutrition and allergy information, as well as carbohydrate counts for each meal, are available online on the SVVSD Nutrition Services site.
Families can order school lunches through Boonli at https://express.boonli.com/login. The deadline to order lunch is 11:59 p.m. on Thursday of the week prior.
Student ID Numbers will be needed to order lunch. Returning parents, your student’s Student ID number can be found in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Parents who are new and have not yet used the parent portal, you may call the school office at 303.682.4339 or email office@svcmontessori.org to request your student’s ID number.
Free/Reduced Lunch (FRL)
SVCMS participates in the federal Free/Reduced Lunch program. Free and reduced meals are available to students whose families qualify. An application must be submitted by the parent or guardian to the SVVSD’s Department of Nutrition Services in order to qualify for either free or reduced price meals any time during the school year.
This application is available online, in the front office at SVCMS, or at the Nutrition Services Office at 2929 Clover Basin Drive in Longmont, CO 80503.
Federal guidelines require a new application each year and parent/guardians must meet income requirements for their children to be eligible. Last year’s status will not carry over to the current school year. Until your application is approved, please send a sack lunch with your child each day. The FRL program also qualifies families for reduced fees at SVCMS. To apply, visit https://www.myschoolapps.com/ or pick up a paper form in the school office.
