The Child Nutrition Department is proud to be part of the District's team.  Our main goal is to support our educators in their efforts to improve student achievement.  It is a proven fact that hungry minds cannot learn and cannot teach!

Las Virgenes Unified School District participates in the federally funded National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP).  The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) indicates that children in School Meal Programs have superior nutritional intakes compared to those who do not participate.

Nutrition is always a "work in progress", whether it is new government requirements or our successful attempts at finding those great new foods the kids love.  We are happy to serve our customers and not just serve the food!  Please take time to explore this site and learn more about our "work in progress".
