Because we are offering free meals to students this school year, we need to collect Household Income Forms from each family. The form is available online at https://education.vermont.gov/householdincome and takes only a few minutes to complete. The information parents/guardians provide helps us access State and Federal dollars to run our schools and most importantly, keeps our tax rates as low as possible.  NOTE: The privacy of your household financial information is protected by law. Please take a few moments to complete the form at your earliest convenience.

Meals that power our students for learning

Students need healthy meals to learn. Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union (OSSU) offers healthy meals every school day. In School Year 2024-2025, all students will receive free breakfast and lunch at school regardless of household income eligibility per Vermont’s permanent universal meals law (Act 64).

Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union and its schools pride themselves on offering quality nutritional meals to our students at each school as participants in a number of federal school meals programs.

We partner with local food growers and makers such as Center for an Agricultural Economy, Burtt's Orchard, and Jasper Hill Farm to create community connections and emphasize fresh, quality ingredients on appealing menus. OSSU's Food Service staff is committed to providing tasty meals that power our youth for learning in and outside of the classroom.
