Food and Nutrition Resources

Providing for the health and nutrition of our community

Fueling Student Success

The Nutrition Services department is a team of food and nutrition professionals dedicated to students' health, well-being and learning ability. We support learning by promoting healthy habits for lifelong nutrition and fitness practices.

Meals, foods and beverages sold or served at schools meet state and federal requirements based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines. We provide students access to affordable, appealing foods that meet their health and nutrition needs.

Students enrolled in the Roosevelt School District receive one free breakfast and one free lunch every school day. Parents and guardians are not required to complete income applications to receive this benefit. Siblings, visitors and adults must pay the posted adult meal prices at our school cafeteria locations.

Free language assistance, auxiliary aids, and/or accommodations are available upon request. For more information, please contact Heather Cruickshank at 602-243-4835 or Sonia Alarcon at 602-243-4814.  

Community Eligibility Provision

Roosevelt School District participates in the Community Eligibility Provision. Regardless of income level, all students enrolled in our district are eligible to receive a healthy school breakfast and lunch at no charge each day without paying a fee or submitting a meal application.

The Community Eligibility Provision is an alternative to the traditional meal application process associated with the United States Department of Agriculture National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs. The provision alleviates the burden on families by eliminating household applications while helping schools reduce costs associated with collecting and processing those applications.
