Information About The Program
TCS to serve free breakfast, lunch during 2024-25 school year
SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTIONS
There are several factors at play that will result in TCS adopting a “new” normal meal service. Unprecedented nationwide issues with the supply chain, astronomical price increases and delayed shipping will result in menu changes with little or no notice.
We are working very closely with our distributors and manufacturers to secure both the food and supply items needed to support our program, however, the availability of these items is ever-changing and without notice.
While it is our intention to serve all the menu options each day at every school, supply issues will not make this possible moving forward.
When changes to the menu become necessary, we will attempt to substitute the featured menu items as best we can, to the extent we are able to do so, based on the products we are able to retain.
We will continue to communicate daily at the Pk-5 level with available entree items based on what we receive for pre-order purposes. This communication is to ensure students are aware of their main choices and the ability to continue pre-ordering prior to lunch service each day.
The number of offerings and variety we have at the middle and high school levels will undoubtedly change, but rest assured we will continue striving to provide variety based on the availability of products.
Thank you for your understanding and patience. Know we will continue to uphold the utmost in quality and preparation of all foods served, regardless if they are our preferred menu options or necessary substitutions.
AFTER SCHOOL SNACK PROGRAMS
After schools snacks are available at each of our schools for any enrichment group/club function on campus after school ends Monday-Friday while school is in session. The snacks will include two items and the cafeteria manager can help supply these snacks to each group. Please contact your school cafeteria manager to take advantage of this free program today.
Share tables are in each cafeteria and available to all STUDENTS participating in the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Share tables are for any items that have not been opened that a student did not consume. We offer this option to limit waste and to allow students that are still hungry a chance to have more food.
