What do I do if a student has a food allergy?
Staff take measures to safeguard children with specific food allergies, particularly those with severe allergies to peanuts and tree nuts, which are prevalent among many students in the district. At the elementary level, child nutrition staff diligently label manufactured food items that carry warnings about peanuts and tree nuts.
Some food items served, such as buns, bread, cookies, cakes, and even peanut butter sandwiches, are produced in our school district bakery. However, to mitigate any risk of cross-contamination with peanut or tree nut products, food service staff regularly clean and sanitize this equipment.
While every effort is made to minimize the risk, families concerned about potential allergen exposure may choose to provide lunch from home.
We offer healthy, well-balanced meals that meet federal nutrition standards to students.
We operate an angel fund for students in need.
Account balances of graduating seniors will by default, be transferred to a sibling's meal account. Seniors without siblings will receive an email with refund options.
Families can add funds to student lunch accounts through our online system, Infinite Campus.
We do the best we can to efficiently manage waste while also preserving the planet for a more sustainable future.
Many students in our schools have allergies to certain food products, which is why we do everything we can to prevent cross-contamination.
Every two weeks, automated emails will be sent to parents of students with negative balance accounts until the balance is positive.
