Exciting News

Wonderful News


We are committed to providing high quality, healthful meals each day at a reasonable price. Even though we have had some federal mandates handed down from the United States Department of Agriculture that affect all nutrition programs across the nation, our menus are as hearty as ever. School lunch has been receiving a lot of negative press in the past year we wanted to take a moment to address your concerns and fears about what school lunch may look like for your children here in Pinedale.SCSD#1’s nutrition staff is very passionate about serving healthy meals for kids and fostering healthy minds and bodies. We have been diligently working over the past ten plus years to improve our offerings, and still operate within the constraints of our budget, USDA commodities and use regulations, dietary guidelines, and foodservice industry product offerings. We do all this while juggling all the daily demands and pressures of daily operations of the nutrition programs, public scrutiny and serving kid friendly meals.  We are delighted to announce that we are compliant with all the regulations without sacrificing quality or portion sizes.   Our meals have been certified as healthy!

Here’s what we offer:      
- a wide variety of delicious entrees     
- low-fat and fat free milk      
- low-fat, trans-fat-free meals with less than 10% saturated fat and less than 30% overall fat per meal      - a colorful, wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables daily.     
- a wide variety of whole grain offerings      
- Legumes fixed in a variety of ways

We were initially concerned with the minimum and maximum number of proteins and grains and the maximum calories allowed for each grade level. After countless hours and a major overhaul on our menus and recipes we are pleased to announce that most portions will actually be larger than they have been before.  Entrée sizes will be the same or larger.  Fruit and vegetable servings will be larger.  There will be legumes offered every week.  Where you will see a difference is in the number of desserts offered and the amount of bread, biscuits or rolls offered each week. We have reformulated recipes to put the nutritional impact and calories into the main entrée.                  

We will continue to offer a variety of whole grains, buns, tortillas, rice pilafs, breadsticks and trying new grains such a quinoa with less frequency of whole grain bread slices, biscuits and rolls.

We will also be offering some new menu items to enhance our student’s palettes.  We encourage students to try the new items.  Even though students will have full sized portions of all menu items if they don’t eat the full portion, they may still be hungry.

Students at the middle school and high school will also have available for purchase:  chef’s salads, fruit trays, veggie trays, yogurt parfaits and caramel apple trays, yogurt and granola, water and juice for those who may need a few extra calories to sustain them.

High school students will be able to purchase a wide variety of entrees and side offerings on their al a carte line. Visit our website for a list of offerings.

Breakfast will have the same healthful offerings for this year.

With the Healthy, Hungry Free Kid act, USDA has now mandated that school districts charge at least the nationwide average for school meals. The average that they have listed as our target is $2.65 per meal. Our school board has worked hard these past several years to keep meal prices low to ensure greater access to school meals for all families by investing some of our recapture money in the nutrition programs. We sincerely thank them for their wise investment in the health and nutritional well-being of our children through these low prices for the past several years. With these new mandates our hands are tied and we must now move toward the nationwide minimum. You will see our meal prices take an increase for this school year.  Keep in mind that the free and reduced price meal program is available to families with qualifying incomes.  Please call for help in filling out your application.
