Welcome back families, students and staff!!
The 2025-2026 school year is fast approaching and the Food Service has a few things that we would like to refresh with everyone.
As Always, our team is dedicated to preparing and providing delicious and nutritious meals in accordance with USDA and State nutrition standards including calorie limits, saturated fat restrictions, and Sodium targets.
Benefits of school meals. Studies have shown that healthy school meals contribute to improved academic achievement and better health outcomes
School meal programs face challenges such as rising food and labor cost, and staff shortages. Efforts are underway to address these challenges through increased funding and innovative solutions
School meal programs are funded through a combination of federal subsidies, state contributions and Meal sales. Keeping a positive food service account will ensure our program's success for many years to come.
Many school districts participate in federal programs like National school breakfast(SBP) and the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) including Palmyra Eagle School District. These programs offer free or reduced priced meals to eligible students based on household income.

This consists of snacks and beverages that are approved by the USDA as permissible during the school day for these age groups. We must follow the smart snack and smart beverage calculator and keep records of proof of compliance. Sorry Elementary students, USDA does not allow for these purchases at your grade level.
To ensure sustainability of this privilege, we must enforce NO ala carte purchases allowable on a negative account balance for any reason. If your account is in the negative, your student is allowed to receive 1 breakfast and 1 lunch per day( see the following link for what is a meal) while incurring further negative status, but will not be permitted to purchase snacks, beverages(including Milk) or extra entrees without cash.
What is a meal?
The USDA Food and Nutrition Service (.gov) sets meal patterns that specify the types and amounts of food that must be offered in K12 meals. The link below will give you our guidelines for the quantity of items and subcategory of each required to serve by age group and meal type
