Washington Unified School District

Welcome families to a great 2023-2024 school year! 

The goal of the department is to offer a wide variety of tasty, nutritious meals to students at a reasonable price. This is done in a clean, safe environment by caring, well-trained staff.

We participate in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs and California Adult and Child Care Feeding Programs. This allows us to offer full meals at no cost to students. Do we still need to fill out an NSLP form for free meals? No, however, this form will allow us to better fund the success of your students. It also can be used to reduce your costs at home. Please follow the Apply Online Link to apply. 

The meals served to students are designed to meet the dietary guidelines for Americans with limited quantities of fat and saturated fat. This is achieved by purchasing entrée items that are specifically designed for school nutrition programs which are made with less fat and more whole grains. We add a variety of whole grain products, fresh fruits, and fresh vegetables, low fat white and fat-free, no high fructose corn syrup, and flavored milk that students can choose from to fuel their body and mind. Rest assured, when your child eats a school meal, he or she is getting a nutritious meal that will help him or her perform at their best!

The Food Services Department is made up of a team of food and nutrition professionals that are dedicated to students' health, well-being, and ability to learn. We are a support service for learning by promoting healthy habits for lifelong nutrition and fitness practices.
