Child Nutrition 25/26

QUESTIONS ABOUT SCHOOL MEAL PROGRAMS? Consider checking out the California Department of Education, Child Nutrition programs website here! All school feeding programs must follow caloric limitations like the following:

  • ½ to 1 cup of fruit per day
  • ¾ to 1 cup of vegetables per day
  • 1-2 ounces of whole grains per day
  • 1-2 ounces of meat or meat alternatives per day
  • 1 cup of milk per day (2 fat contents and 2 flavors must be offered)
  • Calorie limits of 550-850 calories per meal
  • Fat, sugar, and sodium limits daily

 Lunch meal pattern requirements can be found here, and breakfast requirements are here.

Los Gatos Union School District, Loma Prieta Joint Union School District, Mountain Elementary School District, and Lakeside Joint School District all currently share similar menus that can be found here. Many menu items include a link to the recipe and nutritional breakdown.

We reserve the right to change menu items when needed due to supply chain issues, power outages, staffing, and weather.

Do you have a lunch account balance for an outgoing 8th grader? Consider requesting your refund by emailing Kerry Billner at [email protected]. Be sure to confirm your mailing address and the student's full name.
