All students attending GAPS schools in person may now automatically receive a FREE, healthy reimbursable breakfast and lunch meal each school day. This update includes West Albany High School and Oak Grove Elementary and does not require any action from families. Families can read more about this update here.
Fueling Students for Success
The goal of Nutrition Services is to make sure students receive the necessary nutrition to be prepared to learn and succeed. The school menus are analyzed each week to ensure they meet dietary guidelines. If families have a question or concern about the menu, please contact Nutrition Services or any of the school kitchens. Families are welcome to join their child for a meal at school. Adult meals may be purchased for $4.50.

Did you know that any food or beverage item sold during the school day outside of the School Breakfast Program and National School Lunch Program must comply with Smart Snack Standards? This is a federal requirement under USDA. By making healthy snacks the easy choice, more kids may develop healthy eating habits, which can lead to better health and increased academic performance.
Which items must meet the Smart Snack Standards?
-
Any food and beverage sold to students at schools during the school day, other than those foods provided as part of the school meal programs
- Examples include: items sold in vending machines, student stores, a la carte items in the cafeteria and fundraisers if the food or beverage is intended for consumption at school.
Use the calculators below to confirm if the non-program food or drinks meet the standards:
(This calculator must be completed before SMART Snacks may be sold in your school. Contact the school principal or Nutrition Services to get started.)
- Use low-fat cheeses, yogurt and milk.
- Use reduced sugar and sodium food products.
- Use mostly whole grain rich or whole wheat grains/breads.
- Large variety of fruits and vegetables are offered daily with each meal.
