The Thompson School District Nutrition Services department is dedicated to providing delicious meals that support student growth and achievement.
Great care is taken by highly qualified staff to ensure Thompson School District’s breakfast and lunch menus meet or exceed United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) quality and nutrition standards.
We source clean label, fresh and local items to include in our recipes and menus. Our department adheres to strict food safety standards and practices to keep customers safe and healthy.
With the passage of Healthy School Meals for All in Colorado, we are excited to be able to offer breakfast and lunch at no cost to students, regardless of income or meal benefit status.
New for 2024-25
We are excited to announce our new user-friendly software platform - LINQ Connect! It
will be a “one stop shop” for information and resources including menus, student meal
accounts and household income / meal eligibility applications. It’s easy to register – just
go to linqconnect.com to get started. You may also access information through
the main TSD website by clicking on departments and nutrition services.
Payment Information
While meals are free for all students this year you may want to have funds available for additional meal components and / or a la carte purchases like snacks or milk.
A la carte and adult meal purchases are not permitted without sufficient funds to cover the total.
Nutrition Services is excited to share that we have contracted with a new software company to manage our meal and application program. My School Bucks is no longer active but the new software is called LINQ Connect and all student balances have been moved to the new software. There are many new features that this program offers which weren't available before so we're sure you're going to love it!

Meal Benefit Applications – Do I need to fill it out?
Yes!
All families are still highly encouraged to fill out an application. Why? The Healthy School Meals for All (HSMA) program is funded in partnership with federal nutrition programs that rely on income information to support meals for all students. Other state and federal grants are awarded based on free and reduced meal eligibility rates.
Additionally, families that qualify may receive discounted or waived fees for programs inside and outside of the school district. Applications are available to all households at school sites and online at linqconnect.com. Applications need to be completed annually (after mid-July) for the new school year. The information provided on the application is confidential and is not shared without your consent.
