We provide school breakfast and lunch and offer meat and vegetarian entrée options every day. A secure online payment system gives parents the convenience of checking their student’s school meal account and paying online.
To the maximum extent practicable, all schools in our district will participate in available federal school meal programs, including:
Under the Community Eligibility Provision from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), beginning July 1, 2024, all students qualify for a free complete “reimbursable” breakfast and lunch, regardless of income. Families do not need to fill out free and reduced lunch applications for these benefits.
Good nutrition is a building block for good health and success in school. Our district is committed to providing a daily offering of nutritious and healthy meals and local fruits and vegetables are included in breakfast and lunch menus at each school location.
According to the USDA, menus must meet nutrition goals when averaged over a school week. Menus must be analyzed for nutrient content using USDA-approved software. The nutrient analysis of planned menus must meet nutrient requirements for the age/grade group served when averaged over a week for the nutrient standards based on the 1989 Recommended Dietary Allowances for key nutrients, calories, and 1995 Dietary Guidelines measures.
The Corvallis School District Food Service Department has been a leader in utilizing locally grown produce in the salad bar and meals served. The department has also led the way in removing sodas and other items from the schools in favor of juices, water, and healthier products long before House Bill 2650 (Law 00455) mandated changes in what schools offered students.
