Student Allergies 

A Meal Modification Form needs to be filled out each year by your child's doctor and on file with our district nurse- Mrs. Pettit or our Food Service Director- Mrs. Loera. When making accommodations, we do our best to match the lunch menu each day. Due to supply chain issues and the limitations of certain allergies, this may not always be within our control. If you have any questions about what your students is eating or meal modifications in general, please contact Mrs. Loera. Meal Modification Forms can be found below. 
 
There is NEW form for this school year! As part of the Whole Milk Act, USDA updated requirements for Meal Modification forms that allows parents to fill out a Medical Statement for Fluid Milk Modification rather than requiring that it be filled out by a doctor. This form applies to fluid milk ONLY and can be found below as well! 
 

Weld RE-9 School District Announces No-Cost Meals for All Families

For the 2026-2027 school year, Weld Re-9 School district will provide no-cost breakfast and lunch for all students. Highland Schools will participate in the Community Eligibility Provision. 
 
Students who are not hungry perform better in school. By providing breakfast and lunch to all students, we better support their learning. 
 
It is important for households to still provide income information when requested. While meals will be provided at no cost to all students in participating schools, Weld Re-9 must continue to gather this information to receive full access to state and federal funding. Additional funds go directly to schools to help cover the cost of meals, after school activities and other nutritional programs for students. Plus, qualifying households may be eligible for Summer EBT benefits and to receive discounted school fees, class materials, and more.

Ciertos fondos adicionales van directamente a las escuelas para ayudar a cubrir el costo de las comidas, actividades extraescolares y otros programas nutricionales para los estudiantes. Ademas, los hogares que califican pueden ser elegibles para recibir los beneficios EBT de verano, descuentos en las terifas escolares, materiales para las clases, entres otros cosas.

ATTENTION HUSKY FAMILIES!!
 
Weld RE-9 is looking to start a Local Food Program Advisory Committee. This committee will meet quarterly and should include parents and students. 
 
The primary goals of the committee are: 
  • To increase student and family engagement in school meal programs 
  • To provide guidance regarding local food procurement and menu planning
 
Committee activities may include: 
  • Reviewing student feedback
  • Conducting taste-testing events 
  • Gathering input from students and families 
  • Discussing culturally relevant and appealing menu options 
  • Identifying opportunities to incorporate Colorado-grown and Colorado-produced foods into school meals
 
Feed back and reccomendations from the Advisory Committee will help inform purchasing decisions, menu development, and ongoing efforts to improve student participation and satisfaction with school meals while supporting the objectives of the Local Food Program.
