Avuhsd Food Service

The Nutrition Services department is a dedicated team of food and nutrition professionals committed to students' health, well-being, and their ability to learn. Our primary goal is to support learning by promoting healthy habits for lifelong nutrition and fitness practices. We understand the importance of providing students with access to a variety of affordable and appealing foods that meet their health and nutrition needs.

Our Services

Our department offers a range of services designed to cater to the nutritional needs of students. We provide meals, foods, and beverages that meet state and federal requirements, which are based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines. Our menus are carefully planned to ensure they are not only delicious but also nutritious, offering a balanced diet that supports students' growth and development.

In addition to providing meals, we also offer pre-payment options for parents and guardians, making it convenient for them to manage their child's meal plans. We believe in promoting healthy eating habits and encourage parents to participate in our pre-payment program, which helps to eliminate the need for students to carry cash and reduces the risk of lost or stolen money.

Nutrition Education

We are committed to educating students about the importance of nutrition and fitness. Our nutrition education program aims to teach students about healthy eating habits, how to make informed food choices, and the benefits of regular physical activity. We believe that by educating students about nutrition, we can empower them to make healthy lifestyle choices that will benefit them throughout their lives.

Wellness Policy

Our wellness policy is designed to promote a healthy school environment that supports student well-being, improves student achievement, and reduces childhood obesity. We work closely with school administrators, teachers, parents, and students to develop and implement policies that encourage healthy behaviors and provide opportunities for physical activity. Our wellness policy is regularly reviewed and updated to ensure it aligns with the latest research and guidelines on promoting student health and well-being.

Going Green

At the Nutrition Services department, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact. We strive to use eco-friendly practices in our operations, such as reducing waste, conserving energy, and promoting sustainable food sources. We believe that by adopting green practices, we can not only contribute to a healthier environment but also instill in our students the importance of environmental responsibility.
