The goal of the School Nutrition Program is to provide high quality, nutritious breakfasts and lunches to all students. Eligible students receive meals free or at a reduced price. We also strive to keep the price low for students paying full price

1000 Breakfasts and 3900 Lunches per Day!
The School Nutrition Department plans, prepares, and serves approximately 3900 lunches and 1000 breakfasts a day in 10 school buildings. Additionally, ala carte items are available at the secondary level. We have a staff of 33 employees. Our employees have completed the Serve Safe Food Sanitation and Safety Course and hold Food Handler's Licenses.

The School Nutrition Program is operated under the federally funded National School Lunch Act and Child Nutrition Act. The federal laws regulating the program are administered by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Our Menus
All menus are planned to reflect the Dietary Guidelines for Americans with no more than 30% of total calories from fat and no more than 10% of total calories from saturated fat as calculated over a week's cycle of menus. These regulations also provide a standard for school lunch to provide 1/3 of the recommended Dietary Allowances for protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Iron, Calcium and Calories. Breakfasts are planned to provide 1/4 of the recommended Dietary Allowances. The National School Breakfast and Lunch Program require certain food components to be served in certain amounts. There are four food components for Lunch - Meat/Meat Alternate, Grains/Breads, Vegetables/Fruits and Milk.

Our Nutrition Program also operates under the Offer vs. Serve provision. This provision requires students be offered five meal components but they need not select all the components for the meal to qualify for state and federal reimbursements. For lunch, students may select three out of the five components and for breakfast three out of four components may be selected.

Pre-payment Plan Makes it Easy
All schools operate on a computerized pre-payment lunch accounting system called WinSnap. Every student in the District has a School Nutrition Account. Elementary students have their barcode scanned from a class roster. Secondary students are required to use their student ID card to access their account or they may use cash. Any breakfast, lunch or milk item is deducted from the student's account.

We look forward to serving your child a nutritious meal. We also encourage you to visit your child's cafeteria and join them for breakfast and lunch.
