Access to Healthy Food Matters
Existing research and data suggests that with quality nutrition, students are better able to learn, have fewer absences and can improve behavior, all of which causes fewer disruptions to learning and in the classroom.

Food Allergy Information
We understand that food allergies can have serious consequences. Please submit the Special Diet Statement, completed by a licensed physician, physician assistant or advanced practice registered nurse, such as a certified nurse practitioner. Updates to this form are required only when a child’s needs change.

Parents/guardians may provide a written request for lactose-reduced milk if their child is lactose intolerant without a physician’s signature. Please contact the main office with your concerns.
