School Nutrition Services

 School Meal Menus

Students are provided menus with choices for breakfast and lunch in all schools regardless of grade structure. 

• Breakfast features grab-and-go options, a cereal line and a hot food line daily.
• Middle and high school students are offered such choices as grill items, chef salads, pizza, cold sandwiches, and the traditional hot meals for lunch. 
• Elementary students can choose between a hot line, sandwich line, or salad daily. 

We use an offer-versus-serve method for all students. This means our food service staff will offer students food items, but students are allowed to refuse any food items they do not want.  The offer-versus-serve method reduces our food costs by decreasing waste, yet the meal qualifies for reimbursement through the National School Lunch and National School Breakfast programs.

The Bulloch County School Nutrition Program regulations require that meals offered in the schools meet the meal patterns identified in the program regulations. Food substitutions may be made for medical or special dietary needs on a case-by-case basis if supported by a statement signed by a recognized medical authority. A recognized medical authority may include physicians, physician assistants, or nurse practitioners.

The Authorization for Meal Modification Form contains the required information needed to accommodate your child.  Your child's health is very important to us. Please have your medical authority complete and return the form below to the school district's school nutrition director:

Important Points to Remember

• Be sure to sign on the parent/guardian signature line.
• The School Nutrition Program utilizes the Offer vs. Serve meal service at our elementary schools, middle and high schools, except for Pre-Kindergarten. This means your child may be able to make choices for his meal and choose something else to which he/she is not allergic. School Nutrition personnel will make every attempt to accommodate your child’s dietary needs; however, if your child requires a special dietary item that is not on the district's grocery bid, you may need to supply a particular item(s).
• Please know the School Nutrition Program is not able to handle the vegetarian and/or religious (i.e. no pork) dietary requests.
• Parents and students are able to view school menus on the Bulloch County Schools website, and elementary children receive a copy to review monthly and make accommodations for meals from home.
• Your child's signed Authorization for Meal Modification Form will stay on file until the School Nutrition Department receives written notification from the parent or guardian to remove it.

Every three years, or more often if the school district desires, the district must conduct an assessment of its local wellness policy and make it available to the public. The evaluation must address the following:

• Compliance with the district policy
• The extent to which the local wellness policy compares to the state's model wellness policy 
• Progress made in attaining the goals of the local wellness policy

The first triennial assessment should be completed by June 30, 2023 or earlier. The second triennial assessment is due three years from the completion of the first triennial assessment. Districts are required to make the Local Wellness Policy and Triennial Assessment available to the public. This is a copy of Bulloch County Schools' Fiscal Year 2024 Triennial Assessment Tool which was completed on June 23, 2023.
