School Nutrition Program Procedures
During the last two years the USDA allowed schools that participated in certain federal programs to provide free meals to all students. All enrolled students of Lehigh Valley Academy Regional Charter School were eligible to receive a nutritional breakfast and lunch each school day at no charge to the household.
Lehigh Valley Academy has made a commitment to continue offering free meals to all students for the 2022-2023 school year due to the challenges that many of our families still face due to COVID, rising food costs and supply chain issues. Please note that LVA is only committing to free meals for this coming school year at this time. The school will reevaluate the need moving forward next spring.
No further action is required. Your child(ren) will be able to participate in these meal programs without pre-ordering, paying a fee or submitting an application.

Lehigh Valley Academy is happy to offer healthy meals for breakfast and lunch (no pre-order is necessary). LVA's menus can now be accessed on Linton's Smart Cafe.
Two lunch options are available:
- Main meal (includes meat)
- Vegetarian meal (meatless)
***For both breakfast and lunch, LVA implements “Offer vs. Serve”: students have choice of which food components they wish to take within the items on menu that day (state mandated regulations apply). ***
MENUS can be found on the LVA website in Parent Resources/Nutrition Program and are subject to change.
Please note:
- Soda is not permitted at LVA.
- “Fast Food” is not permitted at LVA. If this type of food is brought into school, a parent will be required to supply another lunch that meets the lunch requirement.
