Mission Statement
Nutrition Services facilitates learning by providing nutritious affordable meals and nutrition education for students, staff, and the community.
Vision
Nutrition Services will actively contribute to children’s well being by providing and promoting good nutritional choices and physical activity and by advocating for the life-long adoption of a healthy lifestyle.
Parent Participation
We encourage parent participation and welcome a visit to any of our school cafeterias. Parents can eat with their students by calling the school before 9:30 am to order and purchase a lunch.
Charge Policies
No charges are allowed. Cafeteria Managers will instruct students to borrow money from a friend or call his/her parent or guardian requesting money.
Other Payment Options
In addition to the new Online Payments system, Nutrition Services accepts cash and check as payment options for a la carte. We encourage students to put money on account at the beginning of the school year. Parents may specify how money on account is used for a la carte items.
Nutritional Information and Special Diets
Our Nutrition Specialists address the food and nutrition needs within each school. Carbohydrate Counts, Nutritional Analysis, Food Allergen Information, and Special Diets can be found on this page.
