At this time, SPS Student Nutrition is able to offer 3 types of after-school meals, depending on the meal eligibility of the school where they are needed. 

1. Through the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) through the Missouri Department of Health and Human Services (DHSS), Student Nutrition can offer a 5-component dinner, which we call a "Super Snack". This is made up of more snack-type items, but still meets the requirements of a full dinner meal. This meal is available to any school at or above 50% Free & Reduced rate. 
2. Through the same program, Student Nutrition can also offer a hot, 5-component dinner in some situations as well. Hot meals are currently offered at our Boys & Girls Club locations. 
3. Through Voyagers, schools with lower than 50% Free & Reduced may qualify for a partially cost-covered 2-component snack, with pre-approval from the Voyagers office. The cost of these snacks will be billed to the Voyagers Office. 

A Super Snack is a Grab & Go meal that includes easy-to-eat snack items that still meet the nutritional guidelines. An example meal might include: 

1. 2 Cheesticks (Protein/Meat Alternate)
2. 1 ounce-equivalent crackers (Whole Grain)
3. 1% White Milk (Milk)
4. 1/2 cup apple slices (Fruit)
5. 1/2 cup baby carrots (Vegetable)
6. Ranch dressing cup

Fill out the request form below to determine eligibility. Eligibility is determined based on the school's Free & Reduced meal rate, so it may change from year to year. 

Only if certain criteria are met:

1. Any student 18 and under have access to snacks regardless of team tryouts.

2. Any student, even if not on a team or in a club may participate in meal.

3. An enrichment activity such as a homework helper is available for any students 18 and under (not required to participate).

4. The sport or athletic activity is not the enrichment.

5. Meal must be consumed on site (exceptions are allowed for away games with prior approval from our department).
