Shenandoah Community School District

Schools across the United States offer meals to students that meet the reimbursement guidelines from United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). School meals are priced as a unit, and we receive federal and state reimbursement to offset our costs.

To get the most for your money, encourage your child(ren) to purchase a complete meal.

For breakfasts, students may choose:

1 serving Milk (1/2 pint fluid milk)
1 serving 4 oz. fruit juice OR fruit
1 or 2 servings Grain/meat/meat alternative (which includes the daily entrée)

If students choose at least 3 components (milk, fruit, grain and/or meat/meat alternate), their breakfast will be at the reimbursable meal rate. If they only choose 2 components, we must charge for each item separately, as the selections would not meet the USDA’s requirements for a complete reimbursable meal.

Example:
Menu Student selects:
Cheerios Cheerios, Juice, and Milk
Yogurt This is a reimbursable breakfast!
Orange Slices, Juice
Milk

They MUST select 1/2 cup fruit/vegetable or juice as one of their items at breakfast.

For lunch, students may choose:

1 serving Milk (1/2 pint fluid milk)
1 serving Fruit
1 serving Vegetable
1 serving Grain
1 serving Meat/Meat Alternate

If students choose at least 3 components (milk, fruit, vegetable, grain, meat/meat alternate) with one being a fruit and/or vegetable (1/2 cup minimum), their lunch will be at the reimbursable meal rate. If they only choose 2 components, or do not take a fruit or vegetable, we must charge for each item separately, as the selections would not meet the USDA’s requirement for a complete reimbursable meal.

Grades JK-2 will have two options daily that will be offered to the student: The meal will include, whole grains, lean protein, fresh fruits/vegetables, and milk.

Middle School Salad Bar will be available daily offering fresh fruits, vegetables, lean protein, whole grains, and multiple salad dressing offerings. We will also be featuring produce that is local and seasonal.

Elementary School Fruit/Vegetable Bar will be available at lunch time giving kids the choice of what kind of fruits and vegetables they enjoy. They will need to choose to take ½ cup of whatever they enjoy.
