FOOD SERVICES
Ensuring students receive a nutritious and good-tasting breakfast and lunch every day is vital to them developing healthy bodies – and healthy brains. Children who are hungry or not getting access to proper nutrition very often do not perform as well as children who are well-nourished.
To provide our students with the high-quality food they need to be successful in school, we are pleased to partner with one of the nation's leading school food service companies, Chartwells, LLC. Chartwells is focused on providing nutritious meals and information about healthy eating. You can learn more at www.eatlearnlive.com.
The US Department of Agriculture and the US Department of Education administers the national school lunch (meal) program.
As of May 31, 2022, these agencies will no longer allow school districts to provide universal free lunch to students without families completing an application and qualifying.
Groveport Madison Schools will continue to provide free breakfast for all students, but students’ families will need to complete an online application to be considered for free or reduced-price lunch this year and going forward. The online applications will be available in early July.
You can complete a new Free or Reduced-Price Meal application at: http://www.gocruisers.org/FreeandReducedLunch.aspx.
Groveport Madison Schools' and Chartwells Food Service Department is now offering parents and students an easy way to find daily school menus with links to food item descriptions, photos, nutritional information, serving sizes, and even carbohydrate counts on the food offered at school. Click here to access the Nutrislice website.
In addition, you can download the free Nutrislice app for fast and easy access to the same information.
