At Louisa County Public Schools we believe that good nutrition and learning go hand in hand!

Our Nutrition Services department is made up of a team of food and nutrition professionals that are dedicated to students' health, well-being and their ability to learn. We support learning by promoting healthy habits for lifelong nutrition and fitness practices.

Meals, foods, and beverages sold or served at schools meet state and federal requirements which are based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines. We provide students with access to a variety of affordable and appealing foods that meet the health and nutrition needs of students.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us! Thanks for allowing us to serve your child and this community.

To our TeamLCPS Family:

I want to start off by saying thank you so much for your continued support of the LCPS School Nutrition program. During the 2023-2024 school year, our team was able to serve more than 1,018,000 meals,  and this summer, our LCPS Summer Meals program has served an additional 37,000  meals,  exceeding last year’s record number of 30,000 meals!  These accomplishments were made possible in part thanks to your support and encouragement, which helps fuel our staff as we continue with our mission of making sure all students have access to healthy and nutritious meals!

I’m writing to you to inform you of another exciting development. Based on a recent evaluation from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Louisa County Public Schools has once again qualified to participate in the National School Lunch and Breakfast Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program for the 2024-2025 school year. 

Here’s what this means: based on funding provided by the USDA, all LCPS students are eligible to receive breakfast and lunch at school at no charge for each school day of the 2024-2025 school year. No application is needed and no further action is required.

The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) is a huge asset for our school division. It is worth noting that school divisions are evaluated yearly to determine CEP eligibility, so there is the possibility that the CEP program will not be in effect at LCPS in future years. However, it will be in effect for the entirety of the 2024-2025 school year, and for that, we are very grateful.

If you have any questions about this provision or any of our meal programs, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at any time. I will be glad to assist you. My contact information is included below.

Again, thank you so much for your continued support. It is our privilege to continue serving healthy and nutritious meals to our students. We are so thankful for them!

We are TeamLCPS!

Sincerely,

Randy Herman DTR, SNS

The winning recipe for a healthy lifestyle includes a combination of both good nutrition and physical activity. Your body needs a variety of nutrient rich foods to grow and prevent illness. And your body also needs to move and exercise every day.

Key things you need to know about leading a healthy lifestyle are:

• Eat a healthy diet that includes fruits, vegetables and whole grain products

• Control portion sizes and never "supersize"

• Get active for at least 60 minutes, five times a week for ages 6-18

• Avoid tobacco and illegal drugs all together

Well-nourished students have higher test scores, increased school attendance, improved concentration, and improved classroom behavior. Students, who are physically fit, sleep better and are better able to handle the physical and emotional challenges that they encounter during the day.
