Adams 12 Nutrition Services believes in the “All Foods Fit” philosophy and that all foods can fit into an overall healthy diet. In order to meet the many food philosophies of a diverse district population, we provide an a la carte program K-12. A la carte includes various snacks and beverages that meet Federal Smart Snacks in Schools Guidelines and a comprehensive list of these items can be found here (Disclaimer: Program sites only contain a limited variety of the comprehensive list and this selection varies by site). Additionally, extra servings of our healthy entrée and side items are available for purchase a la carte.
We also understand that every family that we serve has different needs, so we want to ensure that we put the power of choice in our parents’ hands. Parents have the ability to limit a la carte purchases by reaching out to their school kitchen and putting in a request.
*Adams 12 Five Star Schools does not manage the meal program at any of our Charter Schools including, Prospect Ridge Academy, Westgate Community School, New America School, and Stargate School. For information on their meal benefits, please contact the school directly.
