Menus
Due to national supply chain disruptions and shortages, we may have to make changes to our menus with little or no notice. Please know that we are doing our best to serve meals as planned. We apologize in advance and thank you for understanding! If you have any questions or concerns, please email food@cps.edu.
Potential Changes
There may be times when the district needs to change available meal sites. These changes may happen for several reasons:
Dietary Restrictions
Vegetarian options are always available. For support accommodating other dietary restrictions, including food allergies, contact your school or email food@cps.edu. Find more information on supporting students with food allergies on the Allergies section of the Chronic Conditions page.
Reporting Issues with School Food
If there is an issue with a single meal, the student should notify the school’s dining manager, who should offer another option.
CPS Farm to School
Farm to School integrates local food in the dining center and growing food in the school garden.
