District details meal program: free breakfast, paid lunch options and dietary accommodations
Summary
The district's food-service representative said breakfast is free for all elementary students and described menu options, the interactive online menus, accommodations for medical diets and how families can prepay student accounts through PaySchools.
Lisa Manning, the district food-service representative from Witson, told parents that breakfast is free at all 11 elementary schools and described daily lunch options, the online interactive menu and how families can manage accounts through PaySchools.
"Breakfast and lunch is served at all 11 elementary schools and breakfast is free for all students," Manning said. She described menu choices (two hot specials daily, one weekly cold special, a weekly salad special and daily cold options such as bagels or cereal), said the district posts interactive menus with nutritional details and said Witson sources fresh produce from a local supplier.
Manning also explained dietary accommodations: parents with medical dietary needs (for example, a gluten-free diet) should contact the food-service director, Jessica Ritz, at ritzj@middletownk12.org to arrange alternatives. She described PaySchools as the online account system where families can prepay meals or set up auto-replenishment and encouraged parents to review the posted menus and offer feedback.
Manning noted the food-service team is introducing new breakfast options and rotating items to respond to student preferences; parents should consult the district's food-service page for the most current prices and menu items.
