SCHOOL MEALS AND NUTRITION

Nourishing Students’ Minds

Our mission is to provide nutritious and delicious meals that support the health and well-being of our students. We are dedicated to ensuring that every student has access to balanced meals that fuel their learning and growth. PSD participates in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), which is designed to promote the health and well-being of children by providing nutritious meals.

Our schools provided breakfast and lunch to our students daily. A few helpful things to know: 

  • Middle and high school students have a variety of options to choose from (hot meals, sandwiches, fresh fruits, and veggies). 
  • School menus are provided through Nutrislice. 
  • Families must make a “My MealTime” account to pay for meals online. 
  • Students can pay for meals at school with a cash or check.
  • Many families are eligible for free and reduced school meals! Just fill out this application.
