Lunch & Menus
Links to the school menus for each building can be found here.
Each lunch tray includes a protein and grain or bread (entrée), a serving of fruit, a serving of vegetables, and a half pint of milk. While we hope that you will encourage your student to try school lunch, students are allowed to buy lunch and refuse one or two choices provided on the tray lunch. The elementary buildings offer peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a cheese stick, or the sandwich of the week, as an alternative to the daily entrée. Meadowlawn offers bottled water, juice, fruit, and items on the daily menu for purchase a la carte. Half pints of milk are available for students who choose to pack their lunches. High School and Middle School students have a choice of three to five daily entrée choices, plus a variety of fruits and vegetables. A salad bar, baked potato bar, taco bar, nacho bar, and deli bar are also available on alternating days.
Students in grades K-8 buying a tray lunch must choose a fruit or vegetable. High school students buying a tray lunch must take a minimum of a half cup of either a fruit or vegetable.
