Breakfast and Lunch

The South Summit School District is proud to be part of the National School Breakfast (SPB) and National School Lunch Program (NSLP). NSLP guidelines require lunches to provide at least one-third of a child’s Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of calories, protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and iron at lunch and one-fourth of the RDA for these nutrients at breakfast. We plan our meals to provide 30% or less of calories from fat and 10% or less from saturated fat on average. Our schools offer fruits and vegetables daily to help reinforce healthy food choices. Our food service staff are dedicated to providing healthy and nutritious meals to all students.

Breakfast At School

Breakfast is available at each school every morning!

• Elementary School: 8:30–8:50 a.m.
• Middle and High School: 7:00–7:35 a.m.

Did you know? Eating breakfast can improve cognitive performance, test scores, and achievement scores in students, especially in younger children. According to a study published in the journal “Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine,” students who increased their participation in school breakfast programs had significantly higher math scores than students who skipped or rarely ate breakfast.

Special Dietary Needs?

We will gladly accommodate your child’s special dietary needs. Please submit the appropriate documentation or contact our district’s child nutrition administrator, Tammy Clegg.
