Nutrition & School Meals

This Year in School Food - Here's a Quick Guide

1. All School Meals are Free for Students Again This Year!
   1. Every School Day - 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, and 1 Supper (At designated schools, but available to all SF youth)
   2. Regardless of income
2. The 25-26 Multipurpose Family Income Form is open and accepting submissions
   1. This does not impact meal eligibility
   2. This DOES impact school funding and family eligibility for other community benefits
3. Find Menus at sfusd.edu/menus
4. Student Meal Pins are required at this list of schools: School Sites with Meal PINs
   1. Meal Pins do not charge student accounts - school meals are still free for all students
5. Breakfast & Lunch
   1. At Breakfast, students must take a serving of fruit for a complete and nutritious meal
   2. At Lunch, students must take at least one serving of fruit and/or veggie for a complete and nutritious meal
   3. Students may still take a school meal, even if they brought something from home
6. Special Meal Requests
   1. Special meal requests are accommodated with a signature from a licensed medical professional. Student Nutrition Services is able to support special meal accommodations through our Marina Middle School Kitchen and McAteer Culinary Center. Please see sfusd.edu/specialmeals for the full process.
7. NEW Milk Options
   1. Previously we've offered non-fat milk and 1% low-fat milk.
   2. Now, we'll be offering 1% low-fat milk and 1% lactose-free shelf-stable milk.
   3. The addition of lactose-free shelf-stable milk increases access for students with special dietary needs and reduces food waste.
8. Welcoming & Inclusive Dining Spaces
   1. In SFUSD Dining Spaces, all students are welcome. We strive to cultivate an environment where all students feel comfortable, welcome, and encouraged. We know that nourished kids make great students!
