Special Dietary Accommodations Form (OSPI Child Nutrition Programs)
Request for special dietary accommodations:
USDA Child Nutrition Programs support access to healthy meals to all students including those with special dietary needs. USDA regulations specify that all food substitutions must be signed by a state recognized medical authority. We cannot guarantee substitutions will be available without the dietary request form or a medical statement on file.
Students who are requesting substitutions or special accommodations must complete the special dietary request form below.
Field trip sack lunches
Sack lunches are available to all students on field trips. Your teacher should provide a form for you, or you can print and return the form to your school office or teacher. We prefer to receive notices five days before the field trip. Students may use their meal account for payment.
Meal account restrictions
You can restrict your child’s meal account purchases; for example, no charging, no breakfast, cash only a la carte. If you would like to restrict your child’s meal account purchase options, please complete the meal account restriction request form and email our nutrition services department or call 360-885-6653.
Please note: If your student has allergy (dietary) restrictions, please go through your school nurse to ensure all personnel are adequately notified.
Request a refund or transfer/donate funds
You can request a refund or transfer/donate unused funds left in your child’s meal account. Complete this request form and email it to nutrition services. If your child is changing schools but staying within the district, their meal account will follow them. If you are leaving the school district, we cannot transfer funds to another school district. Questions? Please call 360-885-6653.
