El Paso County Public Health has partnered with the El Paso County Food Safety Advisory Group to recognize licensed retail food service establishments which consistently maintain superior food safety practices. MacLaren is one of 41 meal service sites run by D-11 Food and Nutrition Services that was recognized through this award program for excellence in food safety.

Applying for Meal Benefits 

Thomas MacLaren School is providing meals to all students for this school year regardless of Free or Reduced Price meal status for the 2021-2022 school year.  However, you should still complete an application to obtain FRL status.
 
Benefits to filling out the FRL application may include:

• Reduced fees for athletics and other non-school programs
• Increased funding for your schools
• Possible Pandemic EBT food benefits

You will need to qualify for Free or Reduced Price meals to qualify for any possible P-EBT benefits for this school year.

To find out if you qualify for the Free or Reduced-Price Lunch program, click here. Select Colorado School District 11 and enter the relevant household information. Under the student information section, enter your student’s information; at the bottom of the section, select Thomas MacLaren School as your school. 

Paying for Hot Lunches

** Hot lunches will be served free of charge for all students during the 2021-22 school year, so there is not need to set up a new account or add money to an existing account.

Thomas MacLaren School is participating with MySchoolBucks, a payment service where you can set up automatic payments, receive low balance alerts, add money using your credit card, and use their mobile app. This is the only way that we accept payment for hot lunches. We do not accept payment directly to the school.  

** When creating an account, select "D-11" as your district.**
