Dear Parent or Guardian:

We are pleased to inform you that all BRISTOL VA CITY SCHOOLS will be implementing a new option available to schools participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs called the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for school year 2021-2022.

Great news for you and your students! All enrolled students of all BRISTOL VA CITY SCHOOLS are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household each day of the 2021-2022 school year. No further action is required of you. Your child(ren) will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit a meal application. The U.S Department of Agriculture
(USDA) is allowing school divisions to operate the Seamless Summer Option during school year 2021-2022. This flexibility allows the school division to continue to provide healthy and nutritious meals and/or snacks at no charge to all students.

If you have questions or need help, please contact us at (276) 821-5600 and ask for the School Nutrition Department.
