Child Nutrition Programs
School Year 2016-17
Once CDE has reviewed your application in the CO Child Nutrition Hub, if corrections need to be made, you should
receive an email from the system. Additionally, you can check the status of your application at any time by logging on an
going to the Application Packet.
Application Packet Review
Different staff members at OSN are reviewing the applications. If you have questions and need to speak with one of
them, you can find out who is reviewing your app by looking at the Packet Assigned to field (see blue circle in screen
shot below). For specialist contact info, see http://www.cde.state.co.us/nutrition/nutristaff.
Revisions to Site Applications
 To see if you have any site applications to revise, from the current year Application Packet screen, pull up your
site applications. Go to Site Applications – School Nutrition Programs

You will be able to tell if any sites need to be revised because the screen will say “Returned for Corrections” next
to the appropriate site(s). Very important: Do not click on Modify next to any applications that have been
approved/have a green checkmark. If this is done, CDE will have to re-review the application, delaying the
approval for your district.
 Next to the site application(s) that needs to be corrected, click on Modify to open the site application for
revisions. At the very top of the site application, look at the Comments to Sponsor box. This will inform you of
what needs to be corrected.

Revisions to the Sponsor Application and/or the Required Forms
 To see if you need to revise your sponsor application and/or the required forms, look at the current year
Application Packet. You will know a revision needs to be made as the screen will say “Returned for Correction.”
 Click on Modify next to the sponsor application. This will open the sponsor application, and at the very top, you
will see the Comments to Sponsor, which will advise what corrections need to be made.
 Make any necessary changes on the sponsor application (and also take note of any notes in the Comments to
Sponsor box regarding what will need to be revised on the required forms, if applicable).
 Click on Save and then Finish. (It is possible that the sponsor app may be “Returned for Correction” even though
the sponsor app is okay. This is because this is the only way to communicate corrections needed on the required
forms. So, if the sponsor app is okay, still click on Save and then Finish in order to get the app back to a status
that will allow it to be submitted again to CDE.)
 If no changes need to be made to the required forms:
o Back on the Application Packet screen, click on the red Submit for Approval button.
o In big red letters, the following message will appear: The Application Packet is currently under review by
the State and is unavailable for changes.

on the sponsor application):
o Click on Details next to Checklist Summary. Then click on the name of your district.

If the notes from CDE said that a required form was missing, use the blue paperclip to upload the proper
form. For example, if we noted that the Permanent Agreement was missing, you would click on the
blue paperclip next to the Permanent Agreement and upload your completed form (ex: see first red
circle below). Be sure the checkbox is marked under Date Submitted to CDE.

If the notes from CDE said that a required form needed to be revised, at the bottom of the screen, next
to the form that needs to be corrected, click on Modify. You can browse back to your computer to locate

uploaded. For example, if we noted that the F&R Policy Statement was missing the Public Release, you
would click on Modify next to F&R Policy Statement at the bottom of the screen (ex: see second red
circle above). Then browse to your completed form, which you have saved on your computer, and then
upload the completed form.

application.
