OUR MENU

A well-balanced Breakfast and Lunch are offered daily in each of the four schools.  We follow a traditional menu planning with Offer vs. Serve.  As mandated by the National School Breakfast and Lunch Program, each breakfast and lunch offered includes all the required components: (1) serving of protein, (1) serving of grains, (2) servings of fruits and/or vegetables, and (1) serving of milk.  A meal MUST have at least 1/2 cup of fruit or vegetable and a minimum of three total items to be a complete meal or ala carte prices will be charged.

IMPORTANT MENU UPDATE

Last minute menu changes are occurring frequently and are out of our control due to nationwide food supply chain issues.  Menus on website may not always reflect these changes.  We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.  If you have any questions regarding your school's menu, feel free to reach out to the Food Service Director.

We are now serving Subway sandwiches, once a month, as part of our menu! When this meal is served, students have a chance to win a prize by obtaining a 'golden ticket' in their meal. Each month the prize will change, all components of this meal meet the NSLP guidelines. 

ALLERGY INFORMATION & NUTRITIONALS FOR MENU ITEMS

If your child has a special dietary need or food allergy, contact the Food Service Department to obtain the "Medical Plan of Care for School Food Service" form.  The form is also located on this page and will need to be signed by a medical authority before substitutions can be made.

LUNCH ACCOUNTS/POINT-OF-SALE

All Fleetwood schools use a point-of-sale system.  This technology allows us to provide debit accounts for purchases and increases the speed of food service to students. Ala Carte Items CAN NOT be purchased if there is a NEGATIVE balance in the child's account.   Funds can be deposited into accounts via cash, check, or on-line at http://www.schoolcafe.com.  School cafe charges a convenience fee for paying on-line, this is out of our control. Checks and cash are accepted as an option to avoid this fee. 

Parents are able to monitor meal and snack purchases within www.Schoolcafe.com. WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ALL PARENTS TO SET UP AN ACCOUNT. This is the best way to keep track of student balances and avoid going negative. 

Parents may also set-up low balance reminders, check purchase history, and set restrictions within the Schoolcafe.com account. Additionally, the SchoolCafe app is available and easy to use. Each student's account is updated daily to keep the all information current.  Any funds left in your child(ren)'s account at the end of the year will automatically roll over to the next year.  All accounts will follow your child until they graduate from Fleetwood.  Upon graduation, the Account transfer/refund form must be completed and submitted to the Food Service Department Office to receive a refund.
