Menus
Meals, foods and beverages sold or served at schools meet state and federal requirements based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines.
All meals, foods and beverages are prepared and served by qualified child nutrition professionals.
We provide students with access to a variety of affordable and appealing foods that meet the health and nutrition needs of students.
Our menus offer several choices of foods at breakfast and lunch. Students do not have to take all items offered, however they must select a minimum number of food items to make a complete meal (also known as a reimbursable meal). Students must select a (1/2 cup) fruit at breakfast and a (1/2 cup) fruit or vegetable at lunch for the meal to be considered reimbursable. Any student who does not select a (1/2 cup) fruit or vegetable and the minimum number of items required for a reimbursable meal will be charged a la carte prices for each item selected.
