Our Programs

The Beaverton School District's Nutrition Services department nourishes minds by providing appealing, nutritious meals for students while they are in school. Good nutrition is essential in the learning process, and our mission is to help ensure students are ready to learn.

The Beaverton School District's Nutrition Services (NS) department operates federally sponsored child nutrition programs on behalf of the district and under contract with the Oregon Department of Education Child Nutrition Program (ODE CNP) and the Unites States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

The district does not contract with a food service management company to operate the child nutrition programs offered. By School Board policy, NS is required to be self-supporting, providing nutritious meals while operating in a fiscally efficient manner with no General Fund support.
NS operates the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and the School Breakfast Program (SBP) at each of the district's 53 sites.
The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and the School Breakfast Program (SBP) are federal entitlement programs authorized by Congress and funded mainly through USDA meal reimbursements (63%) and meal payments from students (23%).

Nutrition Services also administers other federally and/or state sponsored programs that provide opportunities for children to access meals including:

Farm to CNP (Formerly Farm to School)

Farm to CNP (Child Nutrition Programs) was formerly referred to as the Farm to School Program in Oregon. The program provides funding that assist us to purchase and serve food grown and produced locally to students of the Beaverton School District.

CACPF After-School Meals Program

What is the CACFP After-School Meal Program?

We can serve free meals and snacks through the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). CACFP After-School Meals give a nutritional boost to children, including teenagers through age 18, in eligible afterschool programs in lower income areas in every state.

After School Meals are served at no charge to all children attending a qualified school that offers organized, regularly scheduled after school education, or enrichment activities. Afterschool programs that serve meals, draw children and teenagers into constructive activities that are safe, fun, and filled with opportunities for learning. The food gives them the nutrition they need to learn and grow. When school is out and parents are still at work, children need a safe place to be with their friends, with structured activities, and supportive adults.

Who is eligible for After-School Meals?

Any child attending a qualified school that offers organized, regularly scheduled after school education, or enrichment activities is eligible to receive a free supper meal.

Please Note: Children DO NOThave to be enrolled in the club or activity in order to receive a meal. There are no application forms for parents or guardians to fill out. All after-school meals and snacks are served in group settings, at no cost to the child or to the child's parents or guardians.
