The Jefferson Parish Schools Food Services Department is responsible for preparing and serving meals offered to students and staff throughout the district. Breakfast and lunch are offered in all schools. Students are offered a variety of healthy meals daily. Menus are planned following United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) guidelines with an emphasis on the use of whole grains, fruits and vegetables. 

Please note that last minute menu changes may occur at our schools due to nationwide food supply chain issues. The menus on the district website may not reflect these changes. If you have any questions regarding your school's menu, please reach out to your school's cafeteria manager. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.
