 Fountain - Ft. Carson District 8 will provide no cost Breakfast and Lunch for all students during the 2024-2025 School Year.

Research shows students perform better in school when they are not hungry. By providing Breakfast and Lunch to all children at no cost, we better support their learning.

Our school meals follow the U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines for healthy school meals. When families choose no-cost school meals, our school gets more funding and our school community can connect over mealtimes. It also saves time and money, which your family can use on what’s most important.

Although all students will receive no cost meals, it’s still important for households to provide income information when requested. Gathering this information allows Fountain - Ft. Carson District 8 to receive state and federal funding we qualify for. These funds go directly to schools to help cover the cost of meals and support after-school activities and other nutritional programs for students. Plus, qualifying households may be eligible to receive Summer EBT benefits, receive discounted school fees, class materials, bus passes, utilities support and more.

Food Safety:
The kitchen staff takes food safety very seriously. We have regular trainings throughout the school year and all of our managers are ServSafe Certified.  We do this to ensure we serve food that is safe for our staff and our students.

To support the training and keep safety in our daily habits, we perform Food Safety and Physical Safety audits in every kitchen every month. In addition to those internal audits, the El Paso County Health Department performs annual audits in the schools in Fountain and the US Army performs multiple audits in the schools on Fort Carson.

Special Dietary Needs:
If your student needs a special meal accommodation, please complete the Medical Statement for Meal Modification Form and return it to the school nurse at your student(s)'s school.  Fill out Special Dietary Needs Form or ask for a form from the nurse or kitchen manager at any of FFC8's schools.  Please note that a section of the form must be completed by a licensed medical professional.
