Each family will receive a USDA guideline to aid them in preparing the lunch. This guideline will also be posted on the parent bulletin board.
If a child has a special nutritional need, food allergy, or on a special diet, parents must provide a written doctors note and sign all required forms. Parents will need to provide foods that are necessary for the nutritional need, food allergy, or special diet. All staff that are in contact with the child will be made aware of the special diet.
