This program is coordinated through Nutritional Development Services and provides a student with 1/3 of their daily requirement for calories and key growth nutrients. Each entree is supplemented with fresh fruit, vegetables and/or another healthy snack and a choice of white, chocolate or strawberry milks. Hot Lunch is ordered monthly, in advance, by the due date.

For example, the March menu will be available during the 2nd week of February.

1.  Print a lunch menu for each child in your household.

2.  Fill in your child’s name and homeroom.
