Welcome to Food & Nutrition Services!

Good nutrition and learning go hand in hand.

The goal of the department is to offer a wide variety of tasty, nutritious meals to students at a reasonable price. This is done in a clean, safe environment by a caring, well trained staff.

We participate in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. This allows us to offer meals at no cost to students that qualify for free meals based on the need of the family. Applications for Free or Reduced priced meals must be filled out yearly. If a family's circumstances change during the year a new application can be filled out at anytime.

The meals are designed to meet the dietary guidelines for Americans with limited quantities of fast and saturated fat. This is achieved by purchasing entrée items that are specifically designed for school nutrition programs which are made with less fat and more whole grains. We add a variety of grain products, fruits and vegetables and low fat white and fat free flavored milk that students can choose from to fuel their body and mind. Rest assured, when your child eats a school meal, he or she is getting a nutritious meal that will help him or her perform at his or her best!

The Food and Nutrition Services department is made up of a team of food and nutrition professionals that are dedicated to students' health, well being and their ability to learn. We support learning by promoting healthy habits for lifelong nutrition and fitness practices.
