Child Nutrition & Food Services
We know proper nutrition is essential for student learning. Our active involvement in the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program, in accordance with Child and Adult Care Food Program's (CACFP) At Risk Meals Component, enables us to provide nutritious and delicious meals to our students free. Through the Community Eligibility Provision we have eliminated the need for students to pay fees or submit household applications to partake in these meal programs.
Meal Pricing
- Breakfast and lunch are free for all Tolleson Elementary School District students.
- Lunch $5.00 for adults and students not enrolled at Tolleson Elementary School District.
Breakfast in the Classroom
Every school day, breakfast is enjoyed in the classroom. We serve a variety of foods crafted exclusively from whole grains. The morning meal includes fresh fruit, the choice between chocolate or fat-free milk, and a selection of meat options. Among the breakfast choices are whole grain rice krispies, a breakfast sandwich bagel with cream cheese, and more. Breakfast is served for the first 15 minutes of class. Participation is voluntary. Students can participate at any time.
Discovery Kitchen Cookoff
Discovery Kitchen Cookoff is hosted by Chartwells and provides engaging opportunities for students to test their culinary skills as junior chefs.
