LUNCH MENU & PAYMENT
Nourishing Minds and Bodies
Proper nutrition plays a big role in student learning and development. In fact, the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) links healthy eating to better grades and test scores, improved attendance and graduation rates, fewer behavioral problems, and increased concentration and memory.
American Leadership Academy views nutrition as an important part of a well-rounded educational experience for our students.

Goals for Nutrition Promotion:
School meal programs menus will be made available to students and parents, to promote participation to families.
Outreach information regarding the breakfast program and meals at each campus will be posted at each campus for families to learn the benefits of healthy meals.
The Offer vs. Serve method is used at each campus, and allows students more options to choose from each day and promotes better nutrition through offering a wide variety of options.

The purpose of this policy is to establish consistent meal account procedures throughout the district. Unpaid charges place a financial strain on the food service department, along with the campus.
