In an effort to serve our students healthy, nutritious meals in accordance with the wellness policies adopted by the district, parents and students will see many positive changes in the menus offered.
- Half of all grains served daily at breakfast and lunch, will be whole grains.
- We will offer at least four fruit and/or vegetable choices daily.
- We will offer at lunch daily, one low fat entree with less than 480 mg. sodium.
- We will be offering a non fried fish at least one time per week.
- As budgetary constraints allow, we are making an effort to reduce our reliance on prepared foods.
We hope that parents and students will recognize the positive changes we are making to help keep our students healthy, happy and ready to learn.
The Food Services Department will continue to use a computerized meal cashier program. Record keeping of money paid and meals eaten by your child will be recorded in a computerized database in the school kitchen. Students will be able to enter their student ID number or have an ID card that will be scanned as each student purchases a meal or an item from the cafeteria.
The lunch accounting system is a debit system, which means that you deposit money into an account and as the student eats, the meal charge is deducted from the account balance. It is expected that all balances will be kept positive. The Food Services Department cannot extend credit to families for purchase of meals or a la carte items. If your account is negative, no purchases are allowed, you must send cash to purchase a meal or send a sack lunch.
We are NOT responsible for any cash sent to school with children. If at all possible, please pay by check or money order with reference to your student ID number and school. You may also make credit card payments online via the district website or directly at www.mynutrikids.com/. Your first payment for meals needs to be made prior to the first day that meals are served so that there is money in your student's account. Please do NOT combine a lunch money payment with other school type payments (i.e. enrollment fees/fines/cash/etc). Meal payment envelopes are available in the cafeteria and most school offices.
Questions? You can call the Food Services Office at 785-832-5000 between 7 am and 4 pm.
