The Food Service Program operates the “Offer vs Serve” option. This means students must take a minimum number of food components to receive a reimbursable meal at no cost, but they may decline others they do not want. This option reduces waste and allows for student preference. 

Please notify the school nurse, mshieber@chaplinschool.org, of all food allergy concerns. Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free options are available based on need. Meal Modifications will be assessed on an individual case-by-case basis and must be compliant with state and federal regulations.
