The New Face of Food Service: Fresh, Fun and Healthy

Looking Good CaliforniaUnion School District provides an excellent and healthy food service program! Students and parents appreciate the exciting and positive changes to our lunch program where we stress healthier food and beverage choices. Children can select from a variety of baked entrees, freshly prepared sandwiches, fresh fruits, vegetables, yogurt and tasty nutritional treats from our salad bar. Along with their meal, they have the choice of 1% low-fat milk or non-fat chocolate milk. Water and juice may be purchased separately at additional cost. 

To assist children in developing good nutritional habits, all of the meals and snacks that we offer meet the California Senate Bill (SB19). SB19 mandates that entrees, snacks and beverages served to students must meet the nutritional guidelines which are set and monitored by the State of California for lower fat and sugar content.

Union School District has implemented a new point of sale system in all the school cafeterias. The new system allows students to use their ID cards for prepaid, reduced, and free meal purchases instead of using cash or paper tickets (paper tickets will no longer be issued to students). At breakfast or lunch, students simply scan their ID card, pick up their meal and the transaction is reflected on their account.

We are very excited that the outdated Union Middle School central kitchen has been completely remodeled. The kitchen now features new appliances and a better layout for serving. We are very proud of our endeavors to provide appetizing and healthy meals to the students and staff of Union School District.
