Food Services

Our Food Service staff serves nutritious and great-tasting meals that support and promote a healthy lifestyle. They provide outstanding service and high quality “kid-friendly” meals that meet or exceed the latest federal and state requirements.
 
The Wellspring School’s menus are designed to ensure that students receive a balanced meal, consisting of foods from all major food groups in the right proportions to meet caloric and other nutrient needs. Our meal plans are designed to limit sodium to meet the new standards set by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for school meals.

Our meal patterns and nutrition standards ensure that meals provide age-appropriate calorie levels as authorized by the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). School meals are planned based on 4-grade groups (Pre-K, K-5, 6-8, and 9-12) that naturally align with children’s nutritional needs for growth and health.

  • Males:
    Navy blue long sleeve polo shirt and khaki pants
  • Females:
    Elementary- Navy blue long sleeve polo shirt and khaki jumper with khaki pants
    Secondary- Navy Blue abaya and hijab (any color)
All students should wear all black shoes/sneakers that snap or tie and covers the entire foot for safety.
A student notice will be sent home if a student is not wearing the proper uniform.
