The National School Lunch Program provides free and reduced-price meals to students who meet eligibility guidelines. Families who wish to apply for a free or reduced-price meal must complete a new application every school year. For the first 30 school days of the school year, Cherry Creek students will keep the same paid, free or reduced price meal status as the previous school year. Applications will be processed within 10 school days.

A copy of the Letter of Eligibility must be obtained from the student's parent or guardian. To request a replacement copy of the Letter of Eligibility, the parent or guardian may contact the Food and Nutrition Services office at 720-886-7172.

The online meal application will be available in English, Spanish, Burmese, Chinese, French, Korean, Russian, and Vietnamese starting July 1, 2022 for the 2022-2023 school year.
