“Welcome Back to the 2022 - 2023 School Year”

School Lunch
The District’s USDA approved school lunch provides one-third of the Recommended Daily

Allowances (RDA) of the five basic food groups for children K-12. Under federal regulations known as “offer vs. serve,” students can opt to take a minimum of three of the five components of a meal or all five for the price of a complete lunch. All students must take at least one serving of fruit or vegetable.
