Child Nutrition
Welcome Back!
The Child Nutrition Department is a USDA Federally funded program. All four of our school cafeterias offer Breakfast and Lunch Daily. All students may apply for Free and Reduced Meals via applications sent home by each school or you may come by the QSD Central Office to apply.
USDA has required all full paid student meals to be increased until the price charged reaches the Free meal reimbursement rates. So to meet the new regulations full paid prices were increased.
Full paid student lunch is $2.25 and full paid breakfast is $1.25. According to USDA regulations, reduced meal pricescan not be more than $.40 for lunch and $.30 for breakfast, so those prices will remain the same.
Our school menus are designed to meet the calorie requirements of growing children, and provide major vitamins and minerals needed for proper growth. New meal requirements will be required by USDA next year to increase fruit, vegetable, and whole grain foods. Our menus already offer two fruits and two vegetables daily, and we began increasing the whole grain foods offered last year. These are not "diet:" menus, these are foods that all students need eat to be their best.
Please be aware that students and staff are not to bring Soft drink products in the cafeterieas unless they are in a thermos or a reusable beverage container. Students that bring their lunch/breakfast to school should do so in a lunch box/bag that will keep food at the proper temperature to ensure food safety.
