About Seattle Public Schools Menus and Food Selection

Our menus are planned to meet and often exceed USDA menu planning regulations for school meals, and we are proactively working to incorporate the Institute of Medicine’s recommendations for school meal programs.

We have new initiatives partnering with local farmers and local chefs to create recipes that appeal to students and utilize fresh seasonal (local) ingredients.

We welcome your feedback and menu and recipe suggestions. Please contact Culinary Services.

Every day SPS offers a nutritionally balanced breakfast and lunch for our students! Breakfast and lunch is served each day in all our schools.

• A greater focus on fruits and vegetables at breakfast.
• More whole-grain rich items.
• Meals contain less sodium.

Please Note: *Menus are subject to change without notice. For the latest menu information, contact your school administration to connect with the school’s kitchen manager. Select your school name below to see your school’s menu.

Food Allergies and Special Diet Requests

USDA Child Nutrition Programs support access to healthy meals to all children, including children with disabilities who have special dietary needs. Under the law, a disability is an impairment which substantially limits a major life activity, which can include allergies and digestive conditions, but does not include personal diet preferences.

If your child requires a special diet consideration:

1. Please complete the diet prescription form
2. Have form signed by your family’s doctor, a licensed physician, or a recognized medical authority
3. Send us the completed form

The form must be completed by a licensed physician when identifying a disability, or a recognized medical authority (RMA) when identifying a non-disabling medical condition. For diet prescription purposes, a RMA includes a licensed physician, doctor of osteopathy, licensed physician’s assistant, ARNP or licensed naturopathic physician.
