Note: volunteers must complete a CRC form every school year; ALL volunteers must have an approved CRC form on file
Parents to Preorder School Lunch:
This school year Cheyenne will be using an online lunch ordering system. In previous school years, students would place a school lunch order with their classroom teacher one day prior to eating. The online ordering system will allow parents to easily preorder school lunch for their child. This system will replace ordering school lunch with the classroom teacher. All school lunch orders will need to be placed using the online preorder form. Please complete this form at the beginning of each month.
Using the link below, please take a moment to preorder lunch for this month. This process will help us efficiently and accurately order enough food for students. It will also significantly reduce the amount of instructional time lost by taking lunch count within our classrooms.
- Please complete the entire form (entire month).
- Please order school lunch for each student individually.
- Please only complete ONE form per student.
- Please ensure there is enough money in your child's lunch account.
- If you receive free lunch, please still preorder lunch.
- After submitting the form, you are able to print a receipt of your selections.
Lunch (single) = $2.75
Lunch (doubles) = $4.25
Visit the Chippewa Valley Schools' webpage for an up-to-date lunch menu.
To access student lunch accounts, add money, review parental controls, and apply for free/reduced lunch, please visit: https://chippewavalley.familyportal.cloud/
This survey will take approximately 6 minutes to complete.

Food Service
Message from Food Services:
If your student qualifies for free or reduced meals, you must complete the 2022-2023 online application at Chippewavalley.familyportal.cloud to receive this benefit. Even if you completed the 2021-2022 application, you still need to complete the 2022-2023 application as well. Completing an application is the only way to be considered for free or reduced meals next school year.
In addition, Chippewa Valley Schools has made the decision to cover the cost of students that qualify for reduced price meals for the 22/23 school year. This means there will be no charge for breakfast or lunch for all students that qualify for free or reduced meals.
If you do not qualify for free or reduced meals, you may begin depositing money into student accounts at any time to prepare for the cost of school meals next year. Meal prices for the 2022-2023 school year will be $2.75 for elementary lunch, $3.00 for middle/high lunch and $1.55 for breakfast at all grade levels. We have been fortunate to have not changed the prices for the last 9 years.
Chippewavalley.familyportal.cloud is a new website where families can access their student’s meal account, add money, manage parental controls and apply for free and reduced meals all in one stop! If you previously had a sendmoneytoschool.com account, use the same email when you register to Family Portal and all information will transfer over. For assistance, please contact our Food Service Department at 586-723-2110.
Sincerely,
Chippewa Valley Food & Nutrition Services Department
