Nutrition Services

PUSD Nutrition Services believes that healthy minds and bodies start with healthy meals. Our Nutrition Services Staff members are dedicated to serving the most nutritionally dense and delicious meals to students.
 
In order to do this, PUSD has implemented a Farm to School program which not only promotes learning how to grow a garden but also sources locally grown produce and meat products from area farmers and ranchers.

Staying up to date on nutritional and food safety standards is also of utmost importance in being a part of the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The Nutrition Services Department encourages students to follow the USDA My Plate guidelines to help ensure students are eating a well-balanced meal every day and to provide healthy meal choices.
