About Nutrition Services

    The 91茄子 Public Schools Nutrition Services Department is made up of an experienced team of nutrition professionals that are dedicated to providing our students with the best possible dining experience.

    We are proud to employ a Registered Dietitian and School Nutrition Specialists on our staff and to be certified by the School Nutrition Association of America and the USDA.

    We participate in a nutrition service system called "Offer versus Serve", offering a variety of healthy choices to our students each day including whole grains, fresh fruits & vegetables, lean meats, and low-fat milk while reducing waste.
