Welcome to School Nutrition!

Eating a healthy breakfast and lunch is an important lifestyle habit for staying healthy and feeling good. Eating school meals is a great way for students to get the nutrients they need to stay alert in school and build strong bodies and minds. Polk School District Nutrition staff are committed to helping students make healthy food choices and being physically active throughout the day. Our desire is for students to develop lifelong practices that will prevent obesity and chronic diseases as they grow older.
