Menus:

Chartwells continuously works to improve the quality and nutrition standards of the foods we serve.  This year we are excited to bring the following changes to the program: Focus on local produce, add more nutrient dense menu offerings and eliminate empty calorie menu offerings at all levels, prepare in-house (scratch cooking) recipes with our Chartwells award winning recipes; pizza (whole wheat crust), fiesta rice, apple and cherry crisp made with whole grain oats, chicken casseroles and many other of the kids favorites. All our "Type A" menus meet or exceed USDA Healthier School Gold guidelines.  In addition, we are always working with administrators, students, and you to gain insight on how we can enhance our services.  

Balanced Choices:

Chartwells #1 priority is to serve safe and nutritious meals to students.  With this in mind, we have developed Balanced Choices®, our signature comprehensive wellness program that identifies healthier meals, snacks and beverages so students can make smart choices.  These are identified with Balanced Choices logos and signage on menus and at points of service throughout the cafeterias.

Elementary Meal Programs:

For elementary students, we provide fun and exciting nutrition education opportunities with the help of Theodore Eat, Sydney Learn and Ava Live – the Chartwells nutrition characters who encourage students to eat healthy and be physically active.  Watch for them on menus and signs throughout the cafeterias - they are our nutrition ambassadors!  Be sure to check menus for special promotions, giveaways and nutrition information.

Middle and High School Meal Programs:

Older students have a more sophisticated palate, so we've planned appropriate enhancements to meet their needs.  Here are a few highlights:
