Nutritional Care
Weekly menus featuring healthy, nutritious, and delicious meals and snacks are an important part of the wellness and choice we provide for all students within our dietary plan. Our chefs prepare foods from whole, fresh ingredients daily; addressing a wide range of dietary preferences and/or needs including thickened or pureed consistencies, paying special attention to allergic restrictions, or general preferences for preparations to-taste for all students. Special holiday and seasonal meals are also planned and prepared for students throughout the year.
