The Nutrition Services Department wants to ensure the safest possible environment for all students. We have students with a wide variety of life-threatening allergies in our district. They range from peanuts, tree nuts, egg, dairy, soy, and shellfish to apples and kiwi. It is impossible to eliminate all food allergens from the school meal programs due to the number of food sources that come into the schools, the potential for hidden ingredients, and the possibility of contamination of food where it is packaged. Additionally, ingredients may be changed by the manufacturer without prior notice. However, together with the help of school nurses and teachers, we can create a plan to help meet your student’s special dietary needs.

If your student is participating in our meal programs and would like to request a special dietary accommodation, please fill out A Request for Special Dietary Accommodations form (see below). If you have submitted a special dietary accommodation request in the past, please contact Nutrition Services.

A Request for Special Dietary Accommodations form must be completed in its entirety and signed by your student’s physician (or a licensed health care professional authorized to write medical prescriptions in Washington State). Please download the form by clicking the box below. The completed form must be turned in and reviewed with the family and the district dietitian before Nutrition Services can make adjustments in the published menu to meet a special dietary need. Please email the completed form to cwalker@mvsd320.org.
