School District of West Salem School Nutrition Services

New School Menu Software for 2024-2025 - MySchoolMenus

The School Nutrition Department is introducing a new menu software for all schools for the 2024-2025 school year called MySchoolMenus. Check out the video below for an overview of some of the features!
 

2024-2025 School Nutrition Prices 

*Extra entrees are offered at the Middle and High Schools only and are an additional $1.75 for breakfast and $2.75 for lunch. Extra entrees are not covered by the Free or Reduced Meal Plans and require funds in the account in order to purchase.
 
A new free/reduced meal application will be needed in order to receive free or reduced-priced meals during the 2024-2025 school year. New application forms are available by clicking on the 2024-2025 Free & Reduced Meals Info & Applications link on the right hand side of this page. Even if your child will not be participating in school meals, completing the free/reduced application helps determine additional funding for enhanced educational opportunities for your child’s school.

Bottled Water
Starting during the 2024-25 school year, the High School will no longer be providing bottled water as part of a breakfast or lunch.  This is due to a USDA regulation that we are required to follow in order to continue participating in the School Breakfast Program (SBP) and the National School Lunch Program (NSLP).

Fluid milk is a required component of a reimbursable meal. Program operators must not promote or offer water, juice, or any other beverage as an alternative selection to fluid milk in a reimbursable meal throughout the food service area. Schools must not directly or indirectly restrict the sale or marketing of fluid milk (7 CFR 210.10(d)(4)). 

Section 206 of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (HHFKA) amended section 12 of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act by establishing requirements related to the revenue from the sale of nonprogram foods. Under subsection 12(q) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act and 7 CRF 210.14(f), SFAs are required to ensure: 
• All revenue from the sale of nonprogram foods accrues to the non-profit school food service account; and 
• Revenue available to support the production of reimbursable school meals does not subsidize the sale of nonprogram foods.
