Lunch
LUNCH AT RENAISSANCE
How much does lunch cost?
Lunch is free for all students at Renaissance Secondary School through DCSD Nutrition Services, as part of Colorado’s Healthy School Meals for All Program*. Each free meal includes one entrée, fruit, vegetables, and milk. Students may purchase a second entrée or à la carte items using funds from their lunch account. Prices for these items vary.
How do I add funds to my child's lunch account?
To purchase à la carte items or an additional entrée, students need money in their lunch account. To add funds, set up low balance alerts, and monitor spending, visit www.myschoolbucks.com.
How do I set purchase restrictions or request a refund?
To request a refund or transfer, or to set purchase restrictions on your child’s lunch account, contact Paula Wilson at pmwilson@dcsdk12.org.
Do I need to fill out a Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application?
Yes. Although all students now receive one free lunch each school day, we highly encourage all families to complete a Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application. See more details about the lunch assistance program application process here.
What if my student has dietary restrictions?
DCSD Nutrition Services provides accommodations for students with special dietary needs. To learn more or submit a request, visit the DCSD Special Diets page.

Why are meals now free?
The Healthy School Meals for All Program provides funding for Colorado public school districts that operate under the National School Lunch Program* to serve free, nutritious meals to all students!
*IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING FREE STUDENT LUNCHES
Meals for students in the Douglas County School District are currently free through the Healthy Meals for All program, which is funded by the State of Colorado. While free meals will continue through December 2025, the program could be eliminated in many DCSD schools, effective in January 2026. The State plans to place two initiatives on the November 2025 ballot related to the funding of this program.
