ÌÒ×ÓÊÓƵ

The mission of the ÌÒ×ÓÊÓƵ County Public School ÌÒ×ÓÊÓƵs Child Nutrition Program is to provide healthy and nutritious meals daily to all of the District’s students in accordance with all applicable guidelines.

Goals of Child Nutrition:

• Serve nutritionally adequate, appealing and healthy meals
• Help children grow socially and emotionally
• Extend educational influences to the homes of school children
• Improve children’s food habits with the ultimate goal of developing healthy adults
• Comply with federal, state, and local requirements

What is CEP?
The Community Eligibility Program states that all enrolled students of the ÌÒ×ÓÊÓƵ County Public School ÌÒ×ÓÊÓƵ are eligible to receive a healthy, reimbursable breakfast and lunch at school at no charge. No further action is required of you. Your students will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit an application. 

If a la carte items are selected, each student will be required to pay for the additional items at the food prices approved by our district’s board of education.

Wellness Plan:
The Wellness Plan encompasses the recommendations for nutrition and exercise provided by the Alabama State Department of Education, USDA and Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010. This plan helps to provide a school environment that models health promotion and takes action to combat the rising health risks in children.

Data Collection for School Meal Programs
MCPSS is required by federal regulation sot collect race and ethnicity data to determine how effective school meal programs are in reaching potentially eligible students.  Providing this data is voluntary and responses are kept confidential.  Responses also have no effect on a student's eligibility for meal programs.
