MONTHLY MENUSPlease view this month's menus below for delicious breakfast and lunch options at all three of our schools.
Food ServicesOur Food Services Department assures that our district's students receive nutritional and enjoyable meals (both breakfast and lunch are provided). Parents can pay for their child's meals with our convenient online payment service. School lunch menus are updated monthly.The Fountain Hills Unified School District is proud to be part of the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). Lunches are required by NSLP guidelines to provide at least one-third of a child’s Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for calories, protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and iron. Breakfast contains one-fourth of the RDA for these nutrients. On average, meals are planned to provide 30% or less of total calories from fat and 10% or less from saturated fat. Our elementary and middle schools offer salad bars, while the high school offers freshly prepared salads—this helps reinforce "healthy" food choices. In accordance with this, we have removed all deep fryers and only serve baked snack chips and reduced fat cookies. All menus are analyzed by the NutriKids Program to ensure nutritional requirements are being met.
