Welcome to QCUSD’s Child Nutrition Department page! We recognize the connection between good nutrition and student success. This is why our mission is to build healthier kids by providing nutritious meals at minimum cost to families. We prepare our menus with assistance from a registered dietitian and meet Arizona and the US National School Lunch program’s strict nutrition standards. Food
s are hand selected and analyzed to ensure quality. This translates into well balanced, healthy meals that provide recommended amounts of energy and nutrients needed for optimal child development and learning. Daily menus offer:
- Unlimited amounts of fruit and vegetables
- A choice of five different entrees
- 100% juice selections
- Low-fat white milk, and fat-free flavored milk choices
- Whole grain foods
- Protein rich foods
- Foods low in saturated and trans fats
