New Meal Guidelines
Breakfast and Lunch Guideline
Changes
Beginning January 4th, the Child Nutrition Department will be implementing new menu guidelines in all schools. We are implementing these changes in anticipation of new national guidelines that have been proposed by the United States Department of Agriculture and will most likely be mandatory next year. According to the new guidelines, students will be allowed to select increased amounts of fruits and vegetables. The changes are as follows:
Maximum Selections at Breakfast – Old
1 Main Dish
1 Fruit
1 Milk
Maximum Selections at Breakfast – New
1 Main Dish
2 Fruits
1 Milk
*Students may select 2 different fruits.
Maximum Selections at Lunch – Old
1 Main Dish
2 Fruits/Vegetables (2 items total)
1 Milk
Maximum Selections at Lunch – New
1 Main Dish
2 Fruits*
2 Vegetables*
1 Milk
*Students may select 2 different fruits and 2 different vegetables.
We are pleased to offer additional fruit and vegetable selections to students with no change in current meal prices.
