Mission Statement

We believe that children who learn to make healthy food choices and be physically active at school will continue these habits into adulthood.

• A wider variety of fruits and vegetables, including dark green and orange vegetables, dry beans and peas, and fresh fruits
• Frequent use of whole‐grain products
• Low‐fat or fat‐free milk

Special Diet / Food Allergy Information

• Meal Accommodations: If your child has a food allergy or medical condition that requires a modification to the menu, signed documentation by a licensed medical professional (physician, physician’s assistant, nurse practitioner) must indicate the following:

  • Food or allergen to be avoided

  • Explanation of how exposure to the food or allergen would affect the student

  • Food(s) to be substituted

• The required documentation is called the “Special Diet Statement” and is available at this link: Special Diet Statement Form. Completed forms can be returned to the school nurse and emailed to the registered dietitian at healthy.meals@pccsk12.com. 

The Special Diet Statement does not need to be updated annually if the information still accurately reflects the student’s needs. Update the school and appropriate staff on any changes in your child’s plan of care or diagnosis (e.g. if your child has a new allergy or outgrows an allergy).
