Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and other items that obviously contain peanuts have been removed from school menus. Many cafeterias provide peanut-aware tables where students are not to have peanuts or peanut products. Diet modifications can be made for students who are lactose intolerant or gluten intolerant or who have life-threatening food allergies. A mobile app makes it easy to find out what’s being served in Chesterfield County Public Schools. The free app — School Lunch by Nutrislice — can be downloaded from Apple’s App Store and Google Play. Also, the school system’s website provides a link: mychesterfieldschools.nutrislice.com. App users simply choose the school they are interested in, select breakfast or lunch, then view detailed nutritional information (including possible allergens) about the entrees and side dishes available each day. Because food and ingredients change from year to year, parents need to check ingredients annually if their child has food allergies.
Meals may not be charged at any school. Parents or students must pay in advance using MySchoolBucks.com or by sending cash or checks to the school cafeteria.
To apply for free or reduced-price meals, families must complete an application. Only one application is needed per family, and forms are available in school offices, school cafeterias, at mychesterfieldschools.com, by calling 743-3717, or by applying online using the Online Free and Reduced Application. ![]() Other food Chesterfield schools encourage healthy snacks and limit celebrations that involve food during the school day.
