Food Service
The Palo Verde Food Service Department is dedicated to delivering high quality, nutritious meals to our students. We recognize that the eating habits we form in our youth are those habits that will stay with us for a lifetime. With this in mind, we maintain a cafeteria that meets all of the minimum standards of the quality and quantity of food served.
We strive to provide for your child a healthful meal in a clean and pleasant environment.
Since good nutrition impacts classroom performance, our menus and food preparation is designed to assist student learning. We also encourage parents to help their children to eat healthy, nutritious foods both at school and at home.
