School Breakfast Menu Breakfast consists of four menu items. In schools that have implemented offer vs. serve, a child may choose to decline one of these four. Milk and cereal are offered daily as two of the available choices. Please review the menu link below 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. The five menu items always include: meat or meat alternate, fruits or vegetables (two servings), grains or bread, and choice of skim or 1% milk in flavored or unflavored. Please review the menu link below for daily lunch options. Menu: January '10February '10Nutrition 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. Please review the Nutritional Analysis link below for more information. Entrees or SidesFood Allergies: School Food and Nutrition Services will modify meals for students with special dietary needs. Food allergies/intolerances and conditions requiring special diets must be documented each year by a recognized medical professional, including: physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or registered dietitan. The medical professional must complete the updated Prescription for School Meal Modification form. The medical professional must legibly state: medical condition requiring special diet, statement of specific dietary need, list of foods to omit and substitute, and contact information of medical professional. The medical professional must be specific on foods to omit. For example, if the Prescription for School Meal Modification state only "milk allergy", all foods containing any trace of milk will be omitted from the child's diet, i.e., chicken nuggets. These requirements are set to insure the safety of students with special dietary needs. The purpose of meal modification is to meet the need of students with special dietary needs only. Meal modifications will NOT be made for food preferences. See links below for Prescription for School Meal Modification form and List of Possible Allergens in Products.
