The Food and Nutrition Services Department is focused on providing students with fresh, healthy meals each day. Below is additional information about our department. We have a full-service catering program that is available for meetings and school events. We also provide information relating to the carbohydrate content and allergens in our foods and the guidelines we follow for snacks and a la carte food sales.

The following is presented as a guide for planning a variety of events - from beverages and light snacks to complete dinners and receptions. Following are some of the more popular orders requested within the district:

CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST - includes breads such as cinnamon rolls, muffins, sweet breads, croissants, bagels, and Danish pastries, fruit tray and juices. Coffee and tea service available at an additional charge.

SANDWICH AND SALAD BOX LUNCHES - pre-made for ease of service: Kaiser, croissant and foccacia sandwiches, wraps and specialty salads.

MID-DAY TREATS - cookies, brownies, fruit trays, cheese and crackers, vegetable trays, pretzels, popcorn, and trail mix.

These menu selections do not represent the full range of our offerings. Feel free to discuss your ideas to make the occasion more memorable.

Two weeks’ notice is appreciated to initiate a routine order. When an order is placed, please provide an estimated number of people to expect. Guaranteed attendance must be provided by noon, one week prior to the function. Orders placed or changes made after this deadline may be subject to an additional charge. Full or partial charges may occur when an event is cancelled 24 hours or less prior to service. We are prepared to serve 5% more than the number of guaranteed guests except for pre-made plates or boxes where an exact count is made. Charges will be made for the number fed. If the actual number is less than the guaranteed number, 95% of the final count will be charged.

Large functions require more than three weeks notice for adequate planning and coordination. Confirmation of orders for large functions will be handled on an individual basis.

Orders are usually delivered and set-up approximately 15 minutes prior to serving time. A $20.00 minimum delivery charge or 15% (of total order), whichever is greater, will be added when delivering to a location other than scheduled school routes. Orders can always be picked up at the Student Nutrition Center to defer this cost.

Orders will be delivered at the proper hot or cold temperature. Once delivery has been made, the Food and Nutrition Services Catering Department is no longer liable for any food eaten at improper temperatures.

When placing an order, please provide the district budget number. The total will automatically be paid from that account. After the event, a copy of the bill will be sent for your records. If paying by cash or check, a billing invoice will either accompany the order or be sent through district mail. Return one copy with payment to the Student Nutrition Center and keep the second copy.

Food and Nutrition Services Catering Department is dedicated to serving tasty, nourishing meals, which are often prepared from "scratch" and are affordably priced. The revenue generated from our sales contributes to the economical price of meals served to our students.
