If you are opting for school breakfast, students need to arrive at 7:30 so they have time to eat before class starts at 7:45. If your Kindergartener is getting breakfast, they will enter the school through the main doors near the office, not the Kindergarten gate doors.

You can also choose to send lunch from home instead. In that case, students should bring a labeled lunchbox each day. Keep in mind there is no way for students to heat up their lunch. It would be a good idea to practice how to open containers at home. There are a lot of students and only a few adults to help during lunch time.
Students will only have 10-15 minutes to eat their snack so please send a snack that can be eaten within that time. Snacks should be kept in a ziploc bag or another container separate from their lunchbox. Some great snack choices include fruit, veggies, crackers etc. We do not allow any peanuts or tree nuts into our classroom due to severe allergies. Please do not send your student with any foods that include peanuts or nuts for snack. Nut products are ok at lunch.
How much does breakfast and lunch cost?
Starting in the 2024-2025 school year, all BSD students will be eligible to receive one free breakfast and one free lunch at school every day. Families do not have to apply, and there are no income requirements.
Student meals include an entree, sides, and a milk. Students must take the entire meal to be eligible for the no-cost option; students who only opt for milk do not qualify for free milk. This is a federal requirement meant to encourage students to eat a well-balanced meal.
A la carte items such as milk, second entrees, and snack items will be sold at select schools.
If kindergarteners eat breakfast at school, when should they arrive? How do they get to class after breakfast?
All students enter the school at 7:30 and if they eat breakfast, they will come in the front door (not the Kindergarten gate). Once they are inside, someone will help direct them to the cafeteria to go through the breakfast line and eat breakfast. When breakfast is over, a staff member will direct them back to class.
How are food allergies handled?
Please be sure to notify our school nurse, Carey Stephens at carey_stephens@beaverton.k12.or.us. She will create a Student Health Plan that will put a flag in our system to alert the cafeteria staff that there is a food allergy. Additionally, we have allergy tables in our cafeteria that students can sit at. Please notify your classroom teacher if your child has a food allergy and needs to sit an an allergy table. Thanks!
Dietary Restrictions-
All entree's in our cafeteria will be labeled as pictured below. If your child has special dietary needs such as the need to choose only vegetarian items, please help teach them to look for the green V as pictured as below.
