Dear North Shore School District Families

September 5, 2013

Dear North Shore School District Families,

As most of you are aware, the District continues to make improvements in the variety and quality of menus offered to students. The overall goal is to improve the quality of food served by:

• Creating menus that are appealing and tasteful
• Reducing the amount of processed foods
• Eliminating excessive additives and replacing them with whole grain, lower amounts of fat
• Introducing scratch-cooking and planning menus with varieties of fresh fruits and vegetables
• Increasing staff training
• Serving alternative meal options for children with food allergies and ingredient intolerances
In order to continue this initiative, the Board of Education approved the lunch prices below for students, effective August 28, 2013. The complete price list will be s available on the district’s web page.

We will also advise you of changes in the breakfast menu prices in October.

We are changing school lunch one day at a time, tray by tray and we thank you for your support!

Thank you.

Olivia Buatsi
Assistant Superintendent for Business

Monitoring What Your Child Buys for Lunch

If you have not yet used our online Mealpay Plus system, it's an easy way to add money to your children's lunch account (although there is a processing fee) AND to see what your kids are eating.  Thus far, I can see that my child has purchased an "entree" or twice the "salad bar".

The website can be found here and the link is also on the district's website under the lunch program link. To register for the first time, you need to call the food service office and get a student ID#. They can be reached at 277-7090.  The site will also let you set up automatic payments and control how and when you are notified of low balances
