The DPS Food and Nutrition Services department

The DPS Food and Nutrition Services department is made up of a team of food and nutrition professionals that aim to provide your children with nutritious wholesome meals that promote healthy eating habits and lifelong nutrition and fitness practices. Meals, foods, and beverages sold or served at schools meet state and federal requirements which are based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines. We provide students with access to a variety of affordable and appealing foods that meet their health and nutrition needs of students. School Breakfast/Lunch Menu view the monthly K-8 menu.

It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost, or free lunches to children each school day at all public and non-profit private schools (regardless of tuition). Eligibility is determined through an application process that considers both income and household size. Apply for Free and Reduced lunch for your student(s).

Communication

McGlone Academy uses different methods of communication to share information with families. You can also check out our Facebook page.

We know that many families want to know about any safety concerns that happen during the day with our kids.  Our priority is always to communicate with you and we wanted to share our different protocols:

1. We will not send communication home for drills (fire, tornado, lockout, or lockdown) as these are just practices.  We do a fire drill every month, and a tornado, lockdown, and lock-out once a semester.
2. If there is a safety concern inside our building that constitutes a response or a very serious concern in the community that needs immediate action on the part of families, you will immediately receive communication, both from the district as well as through our own communication systems.
3. If there is a safety concern that affects our building as part of the community but the school continues as normal, we will hold on to communication until the end of the day.  We do this to not interrupt your work schedule and not cause alarm when we do not need to. However, we always communicate by end of the day so when your student comes home you have all the information.

We use a couple of different communication platforms

• All district-wide emergency communication will go out through DPS Messenger System. This means a School Messenger Call from DPS.
  • McGlone will follow up with additional communication as needed.
• All school emergency communication will go out through DPS Messenger System (School Lock Out or Lock Down). This means a Robo Call from the office support staff.

McGlone Academy follows all of DPS guidelines when it comes to school closures due to inclement weather.

If you have any questions, please feel free to come to join us at a family meeting or stop by the school to speak with any of our McGlone Leadership Team.
