CCSD Food Distribution Pods During School Closure

The Clark County School District (CCSD) will continue providing breakfast and lunch to students during the closure of our schools beginning Monday, March 16, 2020.

Student food distribution pods will be set up at various school locations throughout the valley from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Parents can also pick up academic resources at these sites. For a list of locations, click here.

In order to comply with federal regulations, a school-age child must be present for food to be distributed. The pickup location will be set up outside of the school sites to facilitate distribution.

Paperless School Menus

The Food Service Department will no longer be printing & distributing paper menus starting in August of the 2020/2021 school year. You can still access your school menu electronically at ccsd.nutrislice.com. Please click the link below for instructional help on how to navigate Nutrislice.

Nutrition Standards for School Meals

Federal, State and Local Standards have been set that govern what food may be provided to students during school hours.

FEDERAL STANDARDS

Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) updated the nutrition standards for reimbursable school meals and established nutrition standards for all other foods served outside the school meals program at any time during the school day.

Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 Fact Sheet

STATE STANDARDS

Each School district that participates in the National School Lunch Program, National School Breakfast Program, Supper Meals, or Summer Meal Service is required by federal law to establish a local school wellness policy for all schools under its jurisdiction. A local school wellness policy is a written document of official policies that guide the school district’s efforts to establish a school environment that promotes students’ health, well-being, and ability to learn by supporting healthy eating and physical activity.

The State of Nevada Wellness Policy

DISTRICT WELLNESS POLICY

CCSD Regulation -5157 reinforces the above local standards and further highlights the areas of smart snacks generated revenue, special occasions, reimbursable meals and exempt areas.
