The program uses familiar brands such as Tyson, General Mills, Kellogg’s, and Land O’ Lakes. Additionally, the Farm to School initiative provides a variety of fruits and vegetables.
The district's 135 school cafeterias will serve breakfast and lunch daily. Menus can be accessed via the "NutriSlice" app or online at https://gwinnett.nutrislice.com/menus-eula.
For the upcoming school year, meal prices are set as follows: elementary student lunch costs $2.50, middle and high school lunch $2.75, reduced-price lunch $0.40, adult breakfast $2.50, student breakfast $1.75, reduced-price breakfast $0.30, and adult lunch $4.00.
Breakfast policies vary by school type: Title I schools offer free breakfast to all students; non-Title I schools provide free breakfast to those eligible for Free and Reduced-Price meals while others pay $1.75.
Lunches are free for Free and Reduced-Price students; others pay according to set prices.
Families are encouraged to complete applications for free/reduced-price meals promptly.
New menu items include garlic knots with entrees, granola for parfaits and yogurt cups, wheat crackers with salads, various subs and sandwiches, Parmesan carrot fries & charro beans as veggie sides, buttermilk brined pulled chicken for high schools only, brunch-for-lunch French toast bites with chicken sausage across all levels.
