All students are eligible to receive free meals through the National School Lunch program and the state of California.

The cafeteria staff is a dedicated group of food service professionals who make it their everyday mission to bring creative, appealing, fresh new food choices to our students. Our goal is to provide our students with meals they love that we are proud to serve them. Our staff prides itself in developing new recipes to keep our students and staff happy. The meal choices are homemade and prepared daily.

We offer a variety of meal choices every day. Breakfast is served from 8 am to 8:30 am. Cereal, bagels, and bakery items are offered daily and hot items like breakfast burritos, sausage egg biscuits, or waffles are rotated on the menu daily. We start each day preparing lunch by baking fresh pizzas and homemade deli sandwiches and salads. Every day several different entrée items are added to the main menu. Pasta, wraps, hamburgers, calzones, pulled pork sandwiches, burritos, grilled sandwiches, and rice bowls are just a few of the specials we create each day in the kitchen. Nevada Union has a large salad bar that is open daily. Bear River and Silver Springs offer a salad bar every other week. The larger schools have snack bars where students can purchase drinks and snacks that are compliant with state guidelines. Pay with cash or check or create an account with my school bucks. If your student has special needs, we are happy to oblige them. We believe a well-fed teenager is a more alert, energized, and happy student.
