Due to current nationwide shortages of items that are served in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), we are unable to commit to a month long breakfast or lunch menu at this time. We will be creating our menus weekly for the time being and they will be posted as soon as we have them. Thank you for your understanding! Please see the letter below for more information.
Dear Families,
At Culdesac School, we know the importance of school meals in fueling both healthy minds and bodies. Even though school meals may look a little different during School Year 2021-2022, please know that your school nutrition team is working hard to ensure students have safe, nutritious, and appealing meals. Today, I am writing to share how our district is working to overcome food supply and labor challenges related to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency so that students continue to receive school meals.
At times, our school district may not receive expected food orders due to labor shortages (such as delivery drivers) and limited product availability (for example, discontinued products or not enough of a specific type of product). As a result, your school may need to make last-minute changes to the menu or substitute a different brand of food product. We know that students have favorite menu items and are working hard to provide them whenever possible. We are also thinking ahead to identify alternative food items that are nutritious and appealing for the students.
If your student has food allergies or a special dietary need, be assured that meeting these needs and keeping your student safe remains a priority for us, and we will continue to provide meal modifications. If your student requires a meal modification, the school must have a medical statement signed by a medical authority on file that indicates the underlying condition, the food to be avoided and a brief explanation of how exposure affects the child. If you have questions or concerns about how your student’s food allergies or special dietary needs will be managed during these supply chain shortages, please contact Shirley Boyer via e-mail at sboyer@culsch.org.
We appreciate your patience, flexibility, and understanding as we work to provide school meals in a challenging and changing environment. Please contact the school with any questions, feedback, or suggestions at 208-843-5413.
