A’viands partner with charters to create customized meal solutions that meet their individual needs. They will also work with our after school programs, to expand food access beyond the school day through supper services. The following highlights the quality of the food they will be providing to scholars. Remember free breakfast for all students! Why eat school breakfast? Better productivity (helps improve your focus on school work). Better health (stops hanger before it starts and gives you fuel to learn). Better mornings (one less thing to worry about before school and it is free)! Grab a breakfast everyday!<\/p>\n

As part of our new meal procedures we must obtain documentation from physicians before preparing alternate meals. If your scholar has a food allergy, the attached documents must be completed and signed by your scholar\u2019s physician. All documentation must be completed, signed by physician, and returned to the main office.<\/p>\n

A’viands will not be preparing any meals containing pork or peanuts; however, we must still know if scholar has an allergy confirmed by a physician along with an action plan in case of accidental ingestion. The required forms will help our school nurse, and staff, prepare to best support your scholar\u2019s health and well-being.<\/p>\n

Again, if your scholar has a food allergy all documentation must be completed, signed by physician, and returned to the school nurse.<\/p>\n
