Milk and cereal are offered daily as two of the available choices. Please review the menu link above for daily breakfast options.
School Lunch Menu Lunch consists of five menu items. In schools that have implemented offer vs. serve, a child may choose to decline two of these five.

Nutrition Analysis: Lunches provide one-third of the daily recommended allowances for calories, protein, iron, calcium, and vitamins A and C. All lunches meet the requirement of 30 percent or less calories from fat, 10 percent or less calories from saturated fat, when averaged over a five day time period.

Food Allergies: School Food and Nutrition Services may modify meals for students with special dietary needs due to food allergies and intolerances. The Prescription for School Meal Modification form provided in this booklet MUST be thoroughly completed each year by a recognized medical professional defined as: physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or registered dietitian. The medical professional must legibly state ALL of the following: medical condition requiring special diet, statement of specific dietary need, list of specific foods to omit and substitute, and contact information of medical professional. The Prescription for School Meal Modification Form will be followed as written. For example, if milk is marked as an allergy with no specific foods to omit, ALL foods containing a trace amount will be eliminated. These requirements are set to insure the safety of students with special dietary needs. The purpose of meal modification is to meet the needs of students with special dietary needs only. Meal modifications will not be made for food preferences. Prescription for School Meal ModificationList of Possible Allergens in Products
