    breakfast have higher test scores and are more alert with less visits to the clinic.

     FOOD ALLERGIES

    As with any commercially manufactured foods, some may be produced on equipment used to produce other allergen containing products such as milk, soy, wheat, and nuts.  These items are not identified on the serving line.  If a parent wishes, they may come go to the central office food service department and look at the ingredient label notebook, or go on line to the Food and nutrition page and view the labels on line. Parents please make sure the cafeteria manager has your student's account flagged if they have a food allergy.
