WELCOME TO NUTRITION SERVICES

The Nutrition Services department is made up of a team of food and nutrition professionals that are dedicated to students' health, well being, and their ability to learn. We support learning by promoting healthy eating 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.

"As our nation faces the ongoing effects of the pandemic, COVID-19 continues to disrupt manufacturing, supply, and distribution chains across many industries. School nutrition programs all over the country are experiencing these unprecedented realities of food, equipment, and supply shortages resulting in limited inventory that is essential for serving a variety of healthy foods and offering nutritious school meals.

Due to these circumstances, last-minute menu changes and product substitutions may occur. Be assured meals will remain balanced and healthy. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we do our best to meet the needs of your children."
