Nutrition Services

The Nutrition Services department in our school district 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 habits for lifelong nutrition and fitness practices.

Good nutrition and learning go hand in hand.

Meals, foods and beverages sold or served at schools meet state and federal requirements.

We provide students with access to a variety of affordable and appealing foods that meet the health and nutrition needs of students.
