School Meals Information
- Students must take 1/2 cup of fruit and/or vegetable to count as a meal.
The five meal components are:
- Meat/Meat Alternative: Minimum of 1 oz. serving grades K-8 daily; 9 weekly. Minimum 2 oz. serving grades 9-12 daily; 10 weekly. Meat/Meat alternates consist of: lean meat, cheese, eggs, beans, yogurt, No Nut butter or seeds.
- Grains/Breads: Minimum 1 serving (1 oz. equivalent) daily with minimum 8 weekly for grades K-8; Minimum 2 servings (1 oz. equivalent) daily with a minimum of 10 weekly for grades 9-12.
- Fruits: Minimum ½ cup for grades K-8 daily; 1 cup for grades 9-12 daily.
- Vegetables: Minimum 3/4 cup for grades K-8 daily; 1 cup for grades 9-12 daily. All grades require selections from five different subgroups (dark-green leafy, red/orange, beans/legumes, starchy, other) to meet this component.
- Fluid Milk: Minimum 8 oz. for grades K-12 daily.
We implement a program called "Offer versus Serve" in all of our lunchrooms. This initiative aims to reduce food waste by giving children the choice to select three out of the five meal components available at lunch. While students have this flexibility, we encourage them to choose all five components for a more balanced and nutritious meal.
