Dietary Accommodations

• Dietary Accommodations are governed by both federal and state regulations.
• Lactose free milk is made available to any student with a written request from the parent/guardian. If your child needs lactose free milk please contact the head cook at your child’s school.
• All other requests for accommodations require a Special Dietary Statement to Request Dietary Accommodations (see Quick Links for form).
• All sections must be completed for the accommodations to be considered. Please email the completed form to angela.gleason@isd728.org.
• All requests for modifications will be evaluated on a case by case basis.  Special dietary requests should constitute a disability.  This form must be completed by an authorized medical authority, such as a licensed Physician, Physician Assistant, or an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse or a Registered Dietitian.
• If approved, accommodations will be in place until graduation, unless otherwise communicated to angela.gleason@isd728.org.

Please Note:

Food Service staff are not trained medical professionals and therefore cannot determine whether a child may or may not consume a particular food item. That decision is the sole responsibility of a parent, guardian, or licensed medical provider.

We strongly encourage parents and guardians to work closely with our Food Service staff to ensure that any required dietary accommodations are met. 

Please note: Ingredients and formulations provided by manufacturers are subject to change without notice. As a result, the items served may differ from those listed on menus or nutritional documents.

To best support your child’s needs, please allow adequate time for the processing of Special Diet Statements and the coordination of appropriate meal accommodations. We recommend submitting any required documentation as early as possible to avoid delays in service.
