New School Menus

We have been working with a company, MealViewer, on a new format for our school breakfast and lunch menus. The new school nutrition page includes a web-viewer and mobile app that have the capacity to display the menus along with nutritional information for items served for breakfast and lunch. This new feature will allow you to view nutritional information such as carbohydrates, calories and fat by simply moving the computer mouse over the items in the menu or through interacting on the mobile app. You are also able to calculate the nutritional information for an entire meal by clicking on the Nutrition Calculator button. Please note that the calculator will pull from the menu you are viewing for that particular day (there are separate tabs for breakfast and lunch). Once in the calculator, you can click on the food items and adjust the amount consumed for a more accurate count of the nutritional information.As we continue to implement the new menus and work with MealViewer our goal is to list sugar totals and allergens as well.

Students are encouraged to use the mobile app to learn more about the nutritional value of the food they are eating and to rate the items they have purchased from the school cafeteria. We are excited to provide this digital tool to receive feedback, while also promoting a vibrant and healthy school community. We believe this will be a valuable tool to foster more conversation about healthy dietary choices and much more!
