ALLERGY-SAFE MENUS
The safety of the students we serve is always our highest priority, and we look forward to working in conjunction with the district to manage food allergies. Our menus are designed so students with various food allergies can participate without pre-ordering. The individual meal preparation is handled by a trained staff member who checks labels and is performed away from other meal preparation to avoid the risk of cross contact.
