A La Carte Menu Items
In addition to our nutritious school lunches and breakfasts, Food & Nutrition Services offers a la carte items to DPS students. The snack items meet United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Smart Snack in School standards and comply with our district’s wellness policy. The snacks come in individually wrapped small portions and meet limited standards for sugar, sodium or saturated fats. Drinks are similarly compliant with USDA and District wellness guidelines.
Food & Nutrition Services’ supervisors work with school leaders to determine which a la carte items will be sold. Schools may choose to limit items, days of sales, grades, the number of items sold per child or maximum dollar amount of purchases. No student will be allowed to purchase a la carte items without either cash or a positive balance in their meal account.
Some examples of these items include whole-grain cookies, baked chips, popcorn and reduced-sugar fruit snacks.
Drinks are also offered and may include sparkling water, low sugar sports drinks and juice items.
DPS’ Food & Nutrition Services operation is self-funded: the money the department earns from selling food items to students, families and teachers, as well as federal and state government funding, must cover the cost of food, salaries for approximately 800 employees, equipment and other operational expenses. The addition of a la carte menu items helps cover the operational costs of Food & Nutrition Services so we are able to continue offering healthy meals to all our students every day, contributing to our mission to feed DPS kids so all students are ready to learn.
