We hope you are getting back into the swing of the new school year!  If you haven't done so already, now is a great time to make sure you have signed up for a SchoolCafe account, which is our new meal software system we started using in January!  With a SchoolCafe account, you can easily view your students' school menus, add money to their accounts (which allows them to purchase items in addition to the free breakfast and lunch they receive as part of Healthy School Meals for All), view their account history, set purchasing limits, and this is also the easiest way to fill out the Benefits Form!  We encourage all families to fill out a benefits form each year because, even though meals are free, the information collected in these forms may qualify your student for additional benefits such as waived school fees, reduced priced internet, etc.  The information collected also helps with the funding for our Nutrition program, so we are able to continue to provide fresh, exciting choices for our students each and every day! Signing up for SchoolCafe is easy!  For more information on how to get signed up, please visit our SchoolCafe page linked here. For more information on filling out the Benefits Form, please visit our School Benefits Applications page linked here.

Starting December 26, 2023, Nutrition Services will be transitioning from LINQ Connect to SchoolCafe as the new point-of-sale system for the remainder of the 2023–2024 school year; however, menus will continue to be available on LINQ Connect. While you will be able to create an account and link it to your student, some information will not transfer to the new system (like account balances) until the start of the new semester.  Here are a few essential points to note about the point-of-sale platform transition: Transfer of Student Files: Your student's file will be transferred from LINQ Connect to SchoolCafe on December 26, 2023. This transfer includes account balances, ensuring a seamless transition. Student Balances: Rest assured, all student balances will be transferred to SchoolCafe. You will retain your existing balance without any loss or disruption. Action Required: After December 26, you will need to create an account with SchoolCafe. You will need your student ID for this step. If you do not know your student ID, it can be found in Infinite Campus. Verify your account balance and review and confirm your account preferences. If you do not set up an account with SchoolCafe, you will not be able to add money to your child’s account or get notifications. Check out a video walkthrough on how to add money to your child’s account and how to apply for free and reduced price meal benefits. Menu Platform: While the point-of-sale system is changing to SchoolCafe, our menu platform will continue to be available through LINQ Connect for the remainder of this school year. For now, families will need to use both apps.    Learn more in the LPS Newsroom.

Littleton Public Schools is excited to announce the reactivation of our Long-Range Planning Committee (LRPC)! This committee has previously played a vital role in shaping the future of LPS with initiatives like the 2018 bond that significantly benefited our district. Now, we are reactivating the committee with a broadened focus, and a renewed commitment to addressing the evolving needs of our community. The new LRPC will work to understand key trends impacting LPS, including real estate, demographics, traffic, facilities and capital needs, providing strategic guidance to the Board of Education as needed. This is a great opportunity for community members to collaborate with district leaders and stakeholders while making a lasting difference for LPS. We’re seeking engaged individuals from a variety of stakeholder groups. With diverse representation spanning the district, this committee will play a pivotal role in maintaining and enhancing the excellence of LPS. Learn more about the LRPC, its purpose, membership structure, and how to apply by visiting the Long-Range Planning Committee’s page on the district website. Applications will be accepted from January 13 through January 24, 2025, and we encourage anyone interested in shaping the future of LPS to apply. Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership in helping LPS grow and thrive!
