FOOD AND SUPPLY UPDATE
Numerous product shortages are occurring across our nation, impacting foodservice businesses, including school meal programs. Suppliers are randomly shorting food and paper orders without warning, causing us to make menu changes with short notice. We apologize for any negative impacts and appreciate everyone's support during this challenging time.

"To Serve Every Student with Excellence as the Standard"
For those parents and students constantly on the go, we have it covered. Using the Apple Store for iPhones and Google Play for Androids, the app School Lunch by MEAL VIEWER can be downloaded for free. This app works similarly to the website as a specific school and menu are selected and food images, nutrition and allergen information are provided. Also within the app you can find announcements and upcoming events. Surveys will also be appearing frequently, allowing for feedback from students, parents and staff. This feature will allow the Nutrition Services Department to have firsthand information to better meet customers’ needs and requests.”
