Special Dietary Needs

When a student has been identified as having a medical condition and/or a disability that requires special dietary accommodations, a written medical statement from a licensed healthcare provider is required before any changes can be made to school meals. This applies to:

• Eliminating specific food items

• Making any other modifications to the school-provided breakfast or lunch

Please note:

• Diet orders do not expire, but a new written statement is required for any changes, including stopping the diet modification.

• All dietary accommodations must comply with federal school nutrition guidelines and are coordinated through School Nutrition Services.

Special Diet Needs: This form must be completed by parent/guardian AND medical provider to allow the nutrition department to provide unique meal substitutions.

Milk Substitution: This form can be completed by a parent/guardian and will allow the nutrition department to provide fluid milk substitution only.
