Message from Child Nutrition Services - Supply Shortage
Our school nutrition program is currently experiencing supply chain issues and effects of nationwide labor shortages. We are having trouble receiving ingredients from our food vendors. This is a nationwide problem, but we are working on several strategies to mitigate the impact on our students.
We apologize to students who are experiencing
last-minute menu changes or menu item unavailability. As we navigate this challenging time,we appreciate your patience and understanding. Thank you for your continued support.
