Good nutrition and learning go hand in hand.

The Food and 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.

We are proud to offer a wide variety of foods to provide adequate nutrients for a growing child. We try to incorporate fresh fruits and vegetables in season on a weekly basis. We also offer a wide selection of ethnic food throughout the school year on our menus in an effort to encourage our students to try foods that are unfamiliar to them.

NEW! Parents can now sign up to have their menus emailed automatically each month!

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.
