Hot Lunch Overview
The first hot lunch form of the 2024-2025 school year will open on August 9, with orders due by midnight August 18. This order runs from August 28 - September 30.
The order form for October will open on September 1 and close on September 10. All future hot lunch forms will open on the first and close on the tenth of every month, so mark your calendars so you don't miss it!
Students should pack a lunch the first two weeks of school.
HOW TO PAY FOR HOT LUNCH?
Compass does NOT use JeffCo's School Cafe. Compass Hot Lunch fees are paid when you submit the order form.
HOW MUCH IS HOT LUNCH?
Hot Lunches must be pre-ordered each month and cost $4.00 - $4.50 per lunch depending on grade level.
Please select the appropriate level and payment option for each lunch. Free and Reduced lunch families have filled out the Family Economic Data Survey (see below) AND have had it approved for Free/Reduced lunch pricing.
OR PACK A LUNCH, YOUR CHOICE!
If your child(ren) bring lunches from home, please ensure it is wholesome and healthy when possible. This will help them concentrate and learn, and have a positive, productive day.
Is Compass participating in the (free) Healthy School Meals for All Program through Jeffco?
We are not participating in the Healthy School Meals for All Program at Compass. We are aware of it, and have thoroughly considered it. We chose to continue our healthy lunch program after assessing this program’s food quality, as well as our ability to offer support to families in need more consistently. Additionally, the Healthy School Meals program wouldn't allow us to prepare and serve our own food, which is a big part of our academic experience here.
If you have questions, or you'd like to donate to our Compass Hot Lunch program for families in need or have more questions, please email [email protected] anytime.
FAMILY ECONOMIC DATA SURVEY - DUE SEPT 30, 2024
Families needing financial support may complete the Family Economic Data Survey (below) to potentially qualify for Free or Reduced Lunches and/or trips. This application must be received in the main office by September 30th. Once submitted, you may be asked for further documentation prior to receiving a letter notifying you of your status.
