Commitment Statement
The Southside Independent School District Department of Student Nutrition embraces the vision to lead educational excellence by providing innovative programs. We supply a basic need to fuel their bodies with nutrition, but for many, we are the smile they need every morning. We promote healthy, nutritious menu items each day to all our students while promoting good health and good eating habits. All students are encouraged to participate in the breakfast and lunch program that operates under the guidelines of the National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs.
2019-2020 | Child Nutrition Announcement
The Southside Independent School District (SISD) is pleased to announce the first time in district history all students will qualify for free breakfast and lunch. The district will continue its policy to operate the Community Eligibility Program (CEP) under the National School Lunch Program for the upcoming school year. Under CEP students will be served breakfast and lunch at no charge. The program also eliminates the collection of meal applications for free, and reduced price and paid students’ meals.
