WELCOME TO THE SBSD DEPARTMENT OF NUTRITIONAL SERVICES
The Nutritional Services Department is an active partner in education by providing nourishing meals designed to meet one-third of the minimum daily requirements for children.
Nutritional Services operates cafeterias in each of the elementary schools and the middle school as well as 3 cafeterias and a snack bar at the high school. Food for the elementary schools is prepared at the middle school and delivered ready to serve.
This department also offers catering services for school and community groups. These special functions may be requested through the use of the Nutritional Services Special Function Form. Whether it be a luncheon, banquet, or a coffee service, the Nutritional Services Department can help. Contact Christine LaPointe at 652-7160 for more information or assistance in planning your event.
