Providing for the health and nutrition of our community

The Nutrition Services department is a team of food and nutrition professionals dedicated to students' health, well-being and learning ability. We support learning by promoting healthy habits for lifelong nutrition and fitness practices.

Meals, foods and beverages sold or served at schools meet state and federal requirements based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines. We provide students access to affordable, appealing foods that meet their health and nutrition needs.

Students enrolled in Roosevelt School District receive one free breakfast and one free lunch every school day. Parents and guardians are not required to complete income applications to receive this benefit. Siblings, visitors and adults must pay the posted adult meal prices at our school cafeteria locations.

Free Summer Meals

Roosevelt School District will be hosting Summer Meals this year.

A list of sites and bus stop locations for meals will be available later this spring.

Sun Bucks

SUN Bucks provides funds for families to buy food to replace meals students typically eat at school during the summer. SUN Bucks are accepted anywhere SNAP benefits are accepted.

Students are eligible for SUN Bucks if:

  • their parent or guardian is receiving SNAP, TANF, or Medicaid; or

  • they are in foster care; or

  • they are in Head Start.

Applications for families not meeting one of the above criteria will be available soon. Decisions and benefits will be sent to the contact information on file at your children's school. Please make sure your information is updated with your school's front office.

Community Eligibility Provision

Roosevelt School District participates in the Community Eligibility Provision. Regardless of income level, all students enrolled in our district are eligible to receive a healthy school breakfast and lunch at no charge each day without paying a fee or submitting a meal application.

The Community Eligibility Provision is an alternative to the traditional meal application process associated with the United States Department of Agriculture National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs. The provision alleviates the burden on families by eliminating household applications while helping schools reduce costs associated with collecting and processing those applications.
