Our meals support student achievement! From breakfast to lunch to dinner - and more - our meals feature delicious proteins, whole grains, abundant fruits and vegetables, and nutrition-packed milk. The research is clear – the better we eat, and the better we take care of ourselves, the better we perform across a broad range of activities, including academics. Even better, all of our meals are served at “no cost” to students. At Dallas ISD, eating healthy does not mean high prices. Our incredible Food & Child Nutrition Services staff are the key to our success. From licensed dietitians to skilled delivery drivers to our ServSafe certified kitchen supervisors, our Super Crew works to deliver their best for 鶹students
. Across more than 200 school kitchens, and at our central kitchen facility, our skilled team members show their love for students by preparing delicious and healthy meals which feature many Texas-grown or produced items, including fresh produce from farms across Texas. In other words, eating school meals frequently means eating local. Speaking of local, many of our employees are themselves 鶹graduates, and many have children or grandchildren in our schools.
