Menus and Nutrition

Menus

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) is a federally subsidized initiative that provides nutritionally balanced, no-cost or low-cost meals to children in public and nonprofit private schools. Administered by the United States Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service, the program ensures students receive approximately one-third of their daily requirements for calories, protein, and essential vitamins through meals that meet specific federal nutrition standards.

New Vendor: Aramark

The West Bend School District has partnered with Aramark Student Nutrition for its school breakfast and lunch program. Aramark will continue to nourish students with meals served to provide balanced nutrition in every bite. That means protein, vegetables and fruit, whole grains, fat-free/low-fat dairy and always low in saturated fats, with no added sugar or salt.

Nutrition Details

The nutritional analysis is an estimate of what the average student selects. The nutritional analysis information is in compliance with the new Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (HHFKA). These are science-based rules from USDA. We use Nutrikids software to verify our accuracy for nutrients required.

We must meet the following regulations:

Limit the calories per tray by grade level
Less than 10% of calories from saturated fat
0 trans fat
Lower sodium levels
Offer five food components which are fruits, vegetables, grains, meats/meat alternates and fluid milk

Review the Offer vs Serve practice.

Nutrition Account Management Policies

Every student in the district has a food service account. The West Bend School District uses a debit system which means money must be deposited before students can make purchases for school meals. All students will be issued a meal/ID card, elementary level students must keep their cards at school and Silverbrook, Badger, and high school students are responsible for their own cards.
