Promoting Health through Nutrition

The District Food Services department employees are proud caring professionals. We pride ourselves in working as a team to provide nutritious, appealing meals for the students and staff to promote health today and in the future. Every meal will meet the USDA requirements for nutrition, enabling all students to prepare for academic development.

Breakfast is available at most schools. Menus are planned two months in advance and a copy of breakfast and lunch menus are sent home with all elementary students. In addition all menus are available on this web site. Meal prices are published on each menu.
