Welcome!
The Child Nutrition Department provides approximately 1,400 breakfast meals, 3,000 lunch meals, and 550 after-school snacks daily.
The Child Nutrition Department participates in the School Breakfast Program (NSBP), National School Lunch Program (NSLP), the After-School Snack Program and the Summer Meal Program. Additionally, we receive commodity food through the USDA Food Distribution Program to assist in providing healthy, low-cost meals to all our students.
Our program is self-sufficient, generating funds for all expenses and employee wages needed for the 42-person staff to operate food services in four kitchens and five school lunchrooms.
This year, you will find even more healthy choices in our school cafeterias. We will be serving school meals that meet new and even tougher federal nutrition standards, ensuring that meals are healthy, well-balanced, and providing students with all the nutrition they need to succeed at school.
Starting this fall, school lunches will meet additional standards requiring:
-
Age-appropriate calorie limits
-
Larger servings of vegetables and fruits, and a wider variety of vegetables, including dark green and red/orange vegetables and legumes
-
Fat-free or 1% milk
-
More whole grains
-
Less sodium and sugar
