Good nutrition and learning go hand in hand.

The Nutrition Services department is made up of a team of food and nutrition professionals that are dedicated to students' health, well being and their ability to learn. We support learning by promoting healthy habits for lifelong nutrition and fitness practices.

Meals, foods and beverages sold or served at schools meet state and federal requirements which are based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines. We provide students with access to a variety of affordable and appealing foods that meet the health and nutrition needs of students.

Nutritional information is currently available with our menus by hovering over any item or by selecting nutrients on the top of the screen, then selecting Nutrition Report Card. In addition to this information we now have an additional resource that may assist in selecting meals.

Our purchasing collaborative, the Massachusetts School Buying Group, has posted product, ingredient, and allergen information for many of the items we serve in our programs. Items are listed by category to allow for easier searching.
