PALISADES SCHOOL DISTRICT FOOD SERVICE
Eating nutritiously is FUNdamental to optimal learning.
The Palisades School Food Service staff is proud to participate in the National School Lunch Program. As a participant in the program, Palisades strives to provide the highest quality food service in all phases of its cafeteria operation with a strong emphasis placed on nutrition based on the dietary guidelines established by the United States Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service. Menus are prepared according to USDA regulations with oversight and training provided by the Food and Nutrition Services Division of the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
Applications for Free Lunch and Reduced-Cost Lunch benefits under the NSLP are available in every school building office and on this website. Eligible families are encouraged to apply for these benefits. All information is held in strictest confidence and children receiving benefits are never overtly identified.
Public Law 108-365 required all School Districts to adopt a Wellness Policy including Nutritional Guidelines for Competitive Foods, defined as any food offered in competition with the National School Lunch Program during the school day. The federal mandate required the policy to become effective on July 1, 2006.
