KITCHEN SUBS NEEDED!

Meal account vs. General account

Meal account vs. General account! This is one of the most common questions Student Nutrition Services receives about school meals. Here is the difference:

Meal account- This account is for purchasing complete meals *only*. A complete meal is an entrée with a fruit and/or vegetable (but can include the whole offered meal of entrée, fruit, vegetable and milk). Anything besides complete meals comes out of the GENERAL account including extra entrees, snacks like chips/cookies/ice cream, extra milk, different drinks and even if you grab an entrée only.

General account- This account is for purchasing complete meals *and* extra items. Extra items vary by building and grade level but can include extra milk, special drinks, cookies, salty snacks, ice cream, extra entrees, etc. Your student can just buy complete meals out of this account with no problem, but it gives him/her the opportunity to purchase something extra if they want.
If you aren’t sure where to put money, Student Nutrition Services always recommends putting money in the GENERAL account. The only exception to this recommendation is if you want your student to be able to buy complete meals only.

Still have questions? Please don’t hesitate to contact Student Nutrition Services.

Allergy Information

For those students with food allergies, we cannot guarantee our food does not contain potential allergens not listed on food labels. While we do our very best to check ingredient statements, product formulations do change. Please call if your student has life threatening allergies and is eating school lunch. For those with peanut and tree nut allergies, we do not process peanut products in any of our kitchens. The peanut butter and jelly Uncrustables on the menu come in fully packaged, so cross contamination should not be an issue. The granola we use in the yogurt & granola daily choice does not have peanuts or tree nuts listed in the ingredient label. However, please be aware that the manufacturer's label does indicate "Granola may contain peanut, almond & pecan ingredients!" This is due to possible cross-contamination during the processing of the granola. The website for the product we use, Nature Valley Oats 'N Honey is http://www.naturevalley.com/Snack-Bars/OatsNHoney. Any pork-containing product is marked with an *. If it is not marked, the product is most likely a turkey product.

To ensure that no student has an allergic reaction, it is imperative that an allergy form be filled out prior to the start of the school year and given to your student’s school nurse. Student Nutrition Services works with each school’s nursing staff to get all student’s allergy information. This information is inputted in our computer system and the students are flagged in the system so that we can ensure no student goes through the meal lines with a food item that can negatively affect their allergy.
