Mandalay students will continue to receive breakfast and lunch at no cost for the
2024-25 school year.
Student Benefits Application
We encourage families to complete the Student Benefits Application on School Café. While all students receive breakfast and lunch meals at no cost, this application may be important for your student(s) to access fee waivers and to ensure accurate funding for your school.
Menus
As in previous years, menus for the upcoming school year can be found on School Café. Please review the menus on School Café where you can see the many options offered each day, filter and review for allergens, and see nutritional information for each menu item.
A la Carte Program
Jeffco Food and Nutrition Services believes in an ‘All Foods Fit’ philosophy and strives to offer both menu and a la carte items that meet the needs of the diversity of students in our school district. We have created an A la Carte Guide to provide families with detailed information regarding the a la carte program in Jeffco, provide a list of items available and how to opt-out of or place restrictions on your student's account for a la carte purchases. Please review the A la Carte Guide to learn more about the program and place restrictions on your student's account if needed.
Please note the following:
- A la carte restrictions must be updated every school year.
- A la carte purchases include anything not included in the reimbursable meal.
- For example, additional entrees or sides, additional milk, snacks and bottled water.
- The following restrictions may be made to a student account:
- Identify days of week when a la carte purchases cannot be made with cash.
- Identify days of week when a la carte purchases cannot be made with student account funds (debit sales).
- Identify a maximum number of a la carte items that can be purchased each day.
- Special Instructions will be used only by the District Dietitian to identify Meal Modifications to help ensure focus is placed on these very important instructions. Special instructions are not available for entry on School Cafe and any previously entered (not related to Meal Modifications) are no longer be visible.
- A student's account cannot go into negative balance to purchase a la carte items.
