Meal Programs within the Food Service Department

Satellite – meals are produced in the central kitchen, packaged and delivered to 86 elementary schools.  There are usually three (3) choices available, including a vegetarian or vegan selection.

Dish - Up – food is heated in the school kitchen, kept warm in a steam table or oven, and dished-up as students go through the line.  Two choices are usually available in elementary schools with the dish-up program, and one is vegetarian or vegan.

Middle Schools – all have full-preparation kitchens and offer three (3) or more choices each day. 

High Schools – ATTC is the only high school that does not participate in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). All high school students, however, have access to meals under the NSLP at their home schools. 

Breakfast

All schools, except Earl Lundy Elementary School at Mount Charleston and Jeffery Academic Center, offer breakfast every school day.  A hot meal is offered each day and consists of one of the following: sausage and cheese biscuit, Pop Tarts, breakfast pizza, French toast sticks, and omelets.  Additional items such as cereal, breakfast bars, cinnamon rolls, low fat doughnuts, and breakfast burritos are available every day.  All breakfasts include milk and juice.
