SPECIAL MENU REQUESTS
If your child has a disability or life-threatening food allergy and you would like a substituted menu, you will need to complete a Diet Modification Form. You may call the School Nurse, Monica Tibben at 515-758-2214 ext. 126, or Kitchen Manager, Karen Hauschildt at 515-758-2214 ext. 136 with questions. These forms will need to be signed by a physician licensed by the State and returned to the nurse. Requests for special diets must be submitted annually and updated by a physician annually.
Free and Reduced Meals
Did you know that you can apply for free and reduced meals at any time through-out the school year? If you were not eligible at the start of the year, but have had a change of income from events such as being laid off, the free and reduced program can help. Please contact Leslie Winey to complete an application. Forms are also available in the District office. All information regarding the application is considered highly confidential by staff.
Free and Reduced Meals - How It Works
Students on the free or reduced lunch program are eligible to receive one lunch and one breakfast each school day at the free or reduced price. Each meal must consist of three items from different food groups to qualify.
BREAKFAST: 1/2 cup of a fruit is now required for a meal. Students must take 3 of 4 offered food groups:
LUNCH: students must take 3 of 5 offered food groups. Students are required to take at least 1/2 cup of a fruit or vegetable.
*If what a student has on the tray does not qualify as a meal, the items will be charged at A la Carte prices - you will not receive the free/reduced benefit.
*Extras are not included in the free/reduced program and will be charged at regular prices.
*These rules are set by the USDA as part of the National School Lunch Program.
