NEW  STANDARDS…..HEALTHY CHOICES FOR YOUR STUDENT

Changes include:

•    Specific weekly amounts of dark green, red/orange, and starchy vegetables will be offered

•    All bread items contain at least 51% of whole grains

We are limiting:
•    Foods that contain added saturated fat and trans fat

We also meet specific calorie ranges for grade levels

We are currently meeting all of these standards.

Breakfast is served daily starting at 7:00 am at both campus locations.

The National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program are programs of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) that provide low-cost or free meals to children each school day.

Do I Qualify?

Your student(s) may qualify for free or reduced priced breakfast or lunch if your household income meets the USDA Income Eligibility Guidelines (based on household size and income), or if your family currently receives SNAP benefits.
