PUBLIC RELEASE SY 2025-2026 Community Eligibility Provision Van-Far Elementary is participating in a Free Breakfast and Lunch Program for the 2025-2026 school year. This alternative is referred to as the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). All students enrolled at this school may participate in the breakfast and lunch program at no charge. Household applications for free and reduced price meals will only be collected for our preschool students for the preschool grant. Studies have shown that children who are not hungry perform better in school. By providing school meals to all children at no charge, we are hoping to create a better learning environment for our students. The school breakfast and lunch that we serve follows U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines for healthy school meals. The Free Breakfast and Lunch Program cannot succeed without your support. Please encourage your children to participate in the school meal programs. If your children attend Van-Far Elementary, breakfast and lunch will be available to them at no charge. We are excited about this opportunity for our children, families, school, and communities and are grateful for the support of our Board of Education, our food service staff, and the state department of education, DESE, for their assistance in making this possible!
