School Breakfast Week March 7 - 11 and Access to Healthy Food During Spring Break

School Breakfast Week - March 7 -11

Did you know all students at our school have access to free breakfast and lunch this year? Let Austin ISD take breakfast and lunch off your plate; we have something for everyone!

Who qualifies: All Austin ISD students receive free meals this school year, regardless of income and without any application or documentation. We encourage all students to take advantage of this opportunity to have a balanced meal, at no cost.

About the meals: Meals feature foods that are cooked and prepared by staff in our school kitchens. The healthy meals include protein, grains, fruits, vegetables, and milk. We offer vegetarian options at both breakfast and lunch. Austin ISD menus feature local, sustainably-sourced, and clean label foods.

About breakfast at school: We serve breakfast daily and feature items like whole grain pancakes or waffles, chia bars, locally-baked muffins, cereal, and fresh fruit.

About lunch at school: Lunch menus feature a variety of foods intended to connect with our middle school students. Student favorites include whole grain pizza, burgers served on locally-baked whole wheat buns, and a variety of scratch-prepared options like tacos, enchiladas, and pasta. We also offer fresh fruits and vegetables daily, often Texas-grown.

Bringing a sandwich? Let us take care of the sides. As long as a student selects three different meal components, at least one being a fruit or vegetable, it qualifies as a free meal.

Healthy snacks and drinks: We offer a variety of snacks, like cookies and Pirate’s Booty, along with beverages like Naked Juice, all available for purchase.

Good to know: As a federally funded program, we receive funding for each meal served; the more meals we serve the more funding we have to invest in the quality of our food, maintain local jobs, and support the Texas economy.

Learn more: You can view daily menus, allergens, and nutritional information, as well as add money to student meal accounts (for a la carte items) on the SchoolCafe app or at www.SchoolCafe.com/AustinISD.

¿Sabía que todos los estudiantes de nuestra escuela tienen acceso al desayuno y el almuerzo gratuito este año? ¡Permita que el Austin ISD quite de su lista de obligaciones el desayuno y el almuerzo; tenemos algo para todos!

Quién cumple con los requisitos: Todos los estudiantes del Austin ISD recibirán este ciclo escolar las comidas gratis, independientemente del ingreso familiar y sin llenar solicitud o entregar documentos. Animamos a todos los estudiantes para que aprovechen esta oportunidad de tener una dieta balanceada, sin costo alguno.

Información de las comidas: Las comidas incluirán alimentos que se cocinan y son preparados por el personal en nuestras cocinas escolares. Las comidas saludables incluyen proteínas, granos, frutas, verduras y leche. Ofrecemos opciones vegetarianas en el desayuno y el almuerzo. Los menús del Austin ISD presentan comidas locales, de origen sostenible y de etiqueta limpia.

Información sobre el desayuno en la escuela: Servimos desayuno diariamente y presentamos productos como tacos de desayuno preparados en la cafetería, mantecadas (muffins) preparadas localmente, cereal y fruta fresca.

Información sobre el almuerzo en la escuela: Los menús del almuerzo presentan una variedad de comidas planeadas al gusto de nuestros estudiantes de secundarias. Los favoritos de los estudiantes incluyen la pizza de grano integral y las hamburguesas servidas en bollos de trigo entero horneados localmente y una variedad de opciones preparadas con ingredientes frescos como los tacos, las enchiladas y la pasta. También ofrecemos frutas frescas y vegetales a diario, con frecuencia cultivados en Texas.

¿Traes un sándwich? Nosotros nos encargamos de la guarnición. Si un estudiante selecciona tres componentes de comida diferentes, al menos uno de los cuales es una fruta o verdura, se cuenta como una comida gratis.

Refrigerios y bebidas saludables: Ofrecemos una variedad de refrigerios, como galletas y Pirate’s Booty, así como también bebidas como el agua mineral Waterloo, café y jugo Naked, todas disponibles para la venta.

Conviene saber: Siendo un programa con financiamiento federal, recibimos fondos por cada comida que servimos; mientras más comidas sirvamos, tendremos mayor financiamiento para invertir en la calidad de nuestra comida, mantener empleos locales y apoyar a la economía de Texas.

Más información: Puede ver los menús diarios, los alérgenos y la información nutricional, así como depositar dinero a la cuenta de comida del estudiante (para los productos a la carta) en la aplicación de SchoolCafé o en www.SchoolCafé.com/AustinISD.
