Food Services

    All Bloomington Public Schools serve lunch and

    breakfast every day. Our food service program has been

    a leader in serving nutritious meals.  Each day, our

    kitchens prepare and serve more than 7,000 lunches and

    1,500 breakfasts to students and staff in all of our

    schools.

Menus are handed out monthly for grades K-8. They are posted in all schools, available through B-Link Cable network and on this website (click on Menus, located on the left side of this page). The district Food Service Office also has menus available for pick up.  A menu analysis of nutrients provided monthly is printed on each month's menu.  Often the nutrients exceed the USDA requirements and the calories from fat are limited.  Menu analysis is accomplished with a nutritional software program called NutriKids.

Breakfast plays an important part in providing children the fuel they need to learn. A breakfast, from either home or school, has been shown to have a positive effect on student performance. School breakfast is served 20 to 30 minutes before school starts. Those who qualify for free or reduced price lunch also qualify for free breakfast.
