Nutrition Services
About
Gunnison Watershed School District Nutrition Services provides healthful and delicious breakfasts and lunches daily at every school.
Propositions MM and LL were passed by voters in the recent election, which allows the Healthy School Meals for All program to raise and retain additional funding. This means there will be no changes to our breakfast and lunch program this year. All students will continue to have access to a free, nutritious breakfast and lunch each school day.
While breakfast and lunch are free for students, second servings or extras will come with a small charge. Please be aware that each student and staff in the district has a school meal account, which is accessed at the point of sale with their 4 digit pin number. Meals are served only during designated times. Students are also welcome to bring lunch from home.

2025-2026 Free Meals for All Information and Application
Gunnison Watershed School District will continue to operate the Healthy School Meals For All program for the 2025-2026 school year, This means that breakfast and lunch are free for all students during this school year.
Even when school meals are free, it's still very important for eligible households to complete the Free & Reduced Meals Application. Why? Because your eligibility helps your student(s) qualify for school-related discounts and waivers on things like fees or extracurricular activities. Plus, the school district receives vital federal funding based on the number of students who qualify for free and reduced-price meals. So, your application directly benefits both your child and our schools!
The letter of eligibility result (free meal eligibility, reduced-price eligibility, or denied based on income) is emailed from Solana, the foodservice software. If no email is on file, a letter is mailed.
