Welcome to the School Nutrition Program

Policy Statement

It Is Our Vision
That the School Nutrition Program of Augusta County Public Schools shall provide students the opportunity to enjoy nutritionally balanced, affordable, and delicious school meals that promote learning readiness and healthy eating behaviors. 

Mission Statement 
To complement and support the education environment through providing students with dining experiences that will provide a social break to the school day in a friendly atmosphere with timely service of healthy choices and a variety of foods prepared and served in a safe manner. 

Children Must Eat to Learn and Learn to Eat 

The School Nutrition Program (SNP) is an important part of the total education program.  It serves to safeguard the health and well-being of children by providing  nutritious kid-friendly meals each school day at prices families can afford.  The program is designed to give students healthy choices and a better understanding of good nutrition for a lifetime of healthy eating habits.  

School Nutrition and learning go hand in hand. Studies have found that school meals, particularly school breakfast, can improve students' brain function and their ability to do well in school.
