DYSART'S NUTRITION PROGRAM

The school food service program is an essential part of the total educational program. Based on the premise that well nourished students are better prepared to receive the instruction of the school day, the Nutrition Services Department plays a vital role in each school's educational team.

Lunch and breakfast are available at all schools. Besides the hot menu choices, salad bars and other food bar choices are available during the week. For information on the other food bar choices, you or your child may contact the school cafeteria.

As part of the National School Lunch and Breakfast programs, the schools can offer meals free or at reduced price. Free and reduced-price meal applications are available in the school office, cafeteria, or the Nutrition Services Department. Only one application is required per family. Every district family is encouraged to complete and return an application.

Parents are always welcome to dine with their child - please be sure to call in advance and check in at the school office. On a related note, due to Maricopa County Health Department regulations, no home-made treats or snacks can be shared or sold on campus. Bake sales, classroom parties or other activities involving food must include commercially prepared items.
