School Meal Program
Child Nutrition Services operates under the regulations and guidance of the National School Lunch Program. It is a federal and state assisted program that provides nutritious and well-balanced meals at low or no cost to children each school day. The school meal program is a self-sufficient operation with revenue sources coming from USDA reimbursement, student and adult meals, and a la carte sales.
Each meal is planned based on the meal pattern set forth by the USDA. There are five required components which make up each star of our meal: fruits, vegetables, grains, milk and meat/meat alternate. A student must select a minimum of three different components or stars, including a ½ cup of fruit or vegetable for optimal nutrition and best value.
