Nutrition and Food Safety Links
Menus are analyzed using the Nutri Kids software program on a monthly basis. You may contact the School Nurse, Food Service Manager or the Food Service Director with any questions you might have.
Our menus are based on the DOE Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the USDA My Plate.
All of our Food Service employees must complete a 5-Hour ServSafe Sanitation Course sponsored by the Indiana Department of Education shortly after being hired. Our schools are inspected twice each school year by the Adams County Department of Health.
Rarely do any of our schools have violations of any kind.
