Food Service Updates SY 24/25

FREE SCHOOL MEALS FOR ALL STUDENTS!


As of the 2023-2024 school year, free school meals are available to ALL students— permanently! This means all Natick Public School students can enjoy a tasty, nutritious breakfast and lunch daily at no cost to their families. Each student will receive 1 breakfast and 1 lunch for free*. Additional items including milk may be purchased using the students MySchoolBucks account. 

If you have any questions regarding free lunch or your MySchoolLunch account, please reach out to the Food Service Department.  


* Free lunches most meet criteria for a reimbursable meal 

Nutrition Standards 


Aramark is committed to providing safe, nutritious food, prepared fresh daily. We align with prominent global food companies to buy the highest quality products available. Our menus are created from an extensive database of age-segmented recipes, developed by our Culinary Team (of dietitians, chefs, and purchasing specialists) and manufacturer partners. These recipes are designed to ensure students receive an appealing and balanced meal consisting of foods from all major food groups, with the appropriate calorie and key nutrient intake for their age and activity level.

For your students, we offer a variety of meal choices with one goal in mind: To provide outstanding service and high quality “kid-friendly” meals that meet or exceed the latest federal and state requirements.


Allergies


NPS Food Services provides menu information with carbohydrate counts and the following major allergens which are required by federal labeling laws: milk, eggs, fish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat/gluten, soybeans, and sesame. This information can be viewed by using the Nutrislice link below. Our department also displays notifications to student of meals containing other allergens, not listed above, on the day of service. This menu information will allow students and parents to better understand the nutritional content of the foods available. The information is correct to the best of our knowledge, and is provided from manufacturers’ labels and NPS Food Services recipes. Manufacturers and distributors may change ingredients or substitute products without warning. It is not the intent of Food Services to provide specific nutrition information for medical use. If your child has a medical dietary need, please contact Kristin or Matthew by phone or email.
