We Feed The Future
The Child Nutrition Services department is made up of a team of food and nutrition professionals that are dedicated to health and well-being so our students can learn. We support learning by promoting healthy habits for lifelong nutrition and fitness practices. 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. Due to the USDA Free Meals for All Waiver, we will not be accepting free and reduced applications.
