This just in: Norwood Schools food news from the superintendent

Lunches will remain the same price as last year. Type ‘A” lunch will be as follows:
Elementary (K6) $1.75
Middle/High School $2.00
Reduced Lunch $ .40
Milk $ .40

Free Grab and Go Breakfast Program is offered to all elementary and middle school students at no cost. It is available in the student’s classrooms during morning announcements and daily routines.

New Lunch Program NutriKids
The Food Service Department will launch a new computerized lunch program called Nutrikids, this school year. This software program will enable us to protect the privacy of each student’s payment status
as it relates to free, paid and/or reduced lunch. It will also allow students and/or parents to establish a lunch account for prepaid lunches that can be tracked more systematically. This program will also help in menu development, as the department will be better able to determine favorable menu items based on itemized sales data. Please contact the Food Service Department if you have any questions 924-2885.

Also, the new district calendar is available to download for visitors and parents at www.norwoodschools.org.
