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.
The USDA has extended free meals to all students until June 30, 2022. Please see our Grab 'n Go meal service for more info.
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.
