Food Service

School meals, which continue to be some of the healthiest meal options for students, feature kid-approved foods and are an important part of the learning day.
Our kitchens can provide many alternative options based on dietary restrictions.
Please contact the Food Service Director, Ms. Jackie Houatchanthara, with any question or concerns.
