Nutrition

The Food Service Department is proud of the role it plays in providing students with a nutritious meal each school day. Our goal is to provide students with a well-balanced meal, which is appealing to students’ tastes, and meets the guidelines of the National School Lunch Program.

Menu

The USDA meal patterns require five components must be offered to qualify for a reimbursable meal. A Meat/Protein, Fruit, Vegetable, Bread, and Milk must be offered in specific quantities. These meal patterns are designed to provide 1/3 of the recommended dietary allowances for key nutrients. The menu must also provide no more than 30% of the total calories from fat, and no more than 10% from saturated fat over the course of a week.
