Nutrition Services

A free and reduced meal application can be submitted online at LINQ Connect - Making Schools Stronger. A paper application can be printed or requested via mail by calling 307-771-2440. Paper applications may be returned to your student’s school or the Nutrition Services Office located at 3320 Maxwell Avenue.

Yes, a new application must be submitted each school year to qualify for free or reduced priced meals. Nutrition Services provides a 30-day carryover period in which the household's eligibility status carries over from the previous school year for the first 30 days of the new school year. This provides households with time to submit an updated application.

Students that qualify for free or reduced priced meals eat both breakfast and lunch for free. Students that qualify for paid priced meals pay the following prices:
 

• Elementary Breakfast: $2.25
• Elementary Lunch: $3.25
• Junior High/High School Breakfast: $2.50
• Junior High/High School Lunch: $3.50

Meal accommodations can be made for students with food allergies, food intolerances, or other documented medical needs. Please contact our Registered Dietitian, Annie Weisz, for more information at annie.weisz@laramie1.org.

Research has shown that school meals are the healthiest meals children eat in a day! The school meal nutrition standards require schools to offer students the right balance of fruits, vegetables, low-fat or fat-free milk, whole grains, and protein foods. Smart Spoon Café at LCSD1 prides themselves in providing a wide range of fresh fruits and vegetables and a variety of entrées. Many of our menu items are homemade including our famous chili and cinnamon rolls and we are working to add more homemade items every year!

Account balance refunds can be requested by calling Nutrition Services at 307-771-2440. Please note refunds cannot be issued at the student’s school.
