Welcome
Laramie County School District #2 recognizes that well-nourished children are better equipped to learn. Providing healthy food and nutrition education are the key ingredients in educating students to make choices that will develop into life-long, healthy eating habits.
School Meals are Safe
Food safety is our top priority! The CDC, FDA and the World Health Organization all stress that there is no evidence COVID-19 spreads via food or food packaging. Whether meals are served in school or at the On-the Go kiosks, school meal preparation is conducted in strict adherence with federal, state and local safety regulations. In addition, CDC and FDA procedures are in place to protect school nutrition staff and the students they serve, including the use of Personal Protective Equipment, additional cleaning of food preparations and service areas, and regular training on proper hygiene practices and food safety measures.
We are pleased to partner with e-Funds for Schools. Parents and Guardians can make payments to the school for student meals and fees all online or through mobile pay.
Benefits of online payments:
-
One transaction for multiple student meal and/or activity payments.
-
Eliminates the need for your child to carry cash or check to school.
-
Email notification for all payment made.
-
Alerts for low balance - so you never worry about your student running out of funds.
-
Recurring transactions for the ultimate convenience.
-
Secure with the latest encryption technology.
Free and Reduced Meal Applications
Your family may qualify for free or reduced price meals. Request a form from the school or district office, and complete it as directed. We accept applications at any time throughout the school year.
Special Diets
Special dietary needs? No worries. Simply download the Special Dietary Needs Form, and return the completed form to the school nurse - who will work with our food service director to develop a nutrition plan that accommodates your child's needs.

Food Service Provider
LCSD 2 will offer a variety of services, including provision of school meals and snacks for all schools in compliance with the National School Lunch and Breakfast programs, as well as catering for events, meetings, and concessions. The promise is "to extend our passion, dedication, knowledge and enthusiasm into serving each student delicious and nutritious meals."
National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs
LCSD#2’s food services operates under the federally funded National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and the School Breakfast Program (SBP). These programs are designed to promote the health and well-being of our children by providing nutritious meals to children in public and private schools as well as residential child care institutions. Schools participating in these programs are required to provide meals that contain one-third of the Recommended Dietary Intakes (RDIs) for protein, calcium, iron, vitamin A, vitamin C and calories with no more than 30% of the calories from fat and less than 10% of the calories from saturated fat.
Our district offers our students the following meal programs:
-

Breakfast in the Classroom

Offer Versus Serve
LCSD#2 practices "offer vs. serve", which allows our students to select at least three of five food items offered during lunch, and one of the four items offered during breakfast - with one of the items being the required serving of fruit or vegetable - for a complete meal. By offering food choices, students are more likely to eat the food items selected rather than throw them away. As a result, Offer Versus Serve can save school districts money through avoided purchasing and disposal costs.
Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program
Our District also participates in the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP), which provides all children in participating elementary schools with a variety of free, fresh fruits and vegetables at a designated snack time during the school day. It is an effective and creative way of introducing fresh fruits and vegetables as healthy snack options, and is seen as an important catalyst for change in efforts to combat childhood obesity by helping children learn more healthful eating habits. LCSD#2 is able to offer this program in all of our elementary schools for the 2019-2020 school year, through grant funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), administered by the Wyoming Department of Education.
