NV Meal Service Updates:

MEALS WILL CONTINUE TO BE OFFERED TO ALL NV STUDENTS AT NO COST THIS SCHOOL YEAR 24/25!

NV will be operating the Community Eligibility Provision  (CEP) program this school year.  This program allows all NV Students to receive meals at no cost while on campus.  Every student is allowed one breakfast and one lunch meal each school day while on campus. 

For families that don't automatically qualify for Free & Reduced Meals status by way of Direct Certification*: We ask (not required) you to fill out a Child Nutrition Eligibility & Education Benefit  (CNEED) APPLICATION .   

The CNEEB Application helps us collect the economic demographics of our non-directly certified households with students attending CEP schools.  Without this information, Nooksack Valley School District could lose important state funding for educational programs that our students are entitled to.  IF your CNEEB Application is approved it can reduced or waive fees for ASB, School Activity, or other community programs.

• CNEEB APPLICATION

*Directly Certified means students are automatically approved for Free & Reduced Meal status from the State database, which is based on SNAP, TANF, FOSTER, MIGRANT, or MEDICARE recipients. OR students qualify as Migrant, McKinney-Vento, or Foster Children through an NV support liaison. 

• Directly Certified students aren't required and shouldn't fill out a Family Income survey.
• Students who are directly certified with Free & Reduced Meal status will still receive a Meal Status approval letter
