David Palmer, Director of Food Services The Detroit Public Schools-Office of Food Services welcomes you to the 2006-2007 school year. Our goal is provide the best nutritionally balanced meals at the lowest possible cost, using State and Federal regulations as our guide and served with an "at your service" attitude. Our meal serving plan is Offer vs. Serve, which means each student will be offered a Five Component Meal:
The student must select three of the five items offered. We begin serving meals on the first day of school and end on the last day of school. Free and reduced priced meals are available to all families who meet criteria that are based on Federal guidelines. If you have not received a Free & Reduced Meal Application, please pick one up at your child's school, and return the completed form to the school. ALL STUDENTS WILL BE OFFERED BREAKFAST FREE OF CHARGE!!! Students may purchase lunch at the cost of $1.20 for elementary and $1.30 for middle and high schools. The Adult meal price is $2.50. All meals served meet the standards established by the United States Department of Agriculture. If a child has been determined by a doctor to have an allergy or disability that would prevent them from eating the regular school meal, the school will make reasonable substitutions. If you believe your child requires food substitutions due to an allergy, disability or for religious reasons, please contact the Office of Food Services for further information. All students are required to remain in the lunch room for at least twenty minutes to eat their lunch. Elementary students are allowed additional time to eat if needed. All food purchased in the cafeteria must be consumed in the cafeteria. The Office of Food Services invites parents to have lunch with their children. When visiting the school, please stop in the school office, sign in and obtain a "Visitors Badge". The adult meal price is $2.50. The Office of Food Services is committed to supporting the educational development of Detroit Public School students by providing delicious and nutritious meals. We look forward to a successful school year. Sincerely,
