Food service departments across the nation are experiencing supply chain interruptions due to limited product availability, nationwide transportation challenges, and supplier labor shortages.

Menu changes may occur during this time; however all students will continue to be offered meals that meet USDA nutrition standards and menu requirements.

We are working diligently to minimize the impact this may have on our students and we look forward to returning to a greater variety of menu offerings in the future. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

NUTRITION SERVICES

Good nutrition and learning go hand in hand.

The 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.

Meals, foods and beverages sold or served at schools meet state and federal requirements which are based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines. We provide students with access to a variety of affordable and appealing foods that meet the health and nutrition needs of students.
