A La Carte Foods Available for Purchase to Complement School Meals

There have been many requests across the division for PWCS to bring back a la carte food for purchase, such as bottled water and cookies. In response to these requests, the Food and Nutrition Department will resume offering additional foods for purchase to complement school meals starting in March. These additional items include bottled water, freshly baked cookies, and packaged snacks such as baked chips, crackers, pretzels, and more. These new items all meet Smart Snack Guidelines and meet our division’s Clean Label Policy to not include any artificial colors, preservatives, sweeteners, or partially hydrogenated fat in our menu items. Students also have the opportunity to purchase second entrées, sides, and milk in addition to their first school breakfast and lunch.

The new à la carte options can be purchased using cash or can be charged to a school meal account if there are sufficient funds available in this account. Prices for these new à la carte items and information about setting up and managing school meal accounts can be found on the PWCS website.
