Food Services

An important aspect of the educational day is the School Lunch Program. The Food Services Department provides students with nutritionally balanced, well-prepared meals at a low cost which are planned to meet one-third of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA). Conscious of the importance of decreasing fat, sugar, and salt in school lunches and implementing the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, more fresh fruits, vegetables and high fiber foods have been included in the daily food choices.

A breakfast program is available at all schools allowing students to purchase breakfast items before the start of the school day.

Monthly menus are distributed to students. In addition to this menu, students are offered other entree items as well as assorted salads, soups, juices, desserts and milk.

Available to all students are a variety of a la carte items which may be purchased for an additional cost.

Applications are available in all school offices and the District Office for parents or guardians to apply for free or reduced price meals if they meet federal guidelines.
