DUVAL COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS August & September 2016 News brought to you by the food service provider for Duval County Public Schools, Chartwells-Thompson
Chartwells K12 is fulfilling new food philosophy for Duval County Public Schools this school year, where fresh new ingredients, local produce and healthy choices come together in delicious, student-inspired new menus! Check out some of the highlights below, and see the full menus on the Nutrislice mobile app and website.
Fresh, New Ingredients
FREE BREAKFAST AND LUNCH
Via our Farm to School program, local produce will be served and highlighted every day, in every school. Fresh-made salads, using 100% romaine lettuce or spinach, will be offered daily in every school. Through a partnership with InHarvest, we are introducing intact whole grains to the menu, starting with a wheat berry shaker salad! House-made sauces and dressings from scratch will be cooked up by our professional Chefs at DCPS’ Nutrition Services Center, right here in Duval County.
DCPS will continue to participate in an option available to schools participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs called the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for the 2016-2017 school year.
Exciting Culinary Innovations
Schools participating in the CEP program are able to provide a healthy breakfast and lunch, each day, at no charge to ALL students enrolled in a CEP school during the 2016-2017 school year.
It’s All About the Students
Chartwells K12 has two food trucks serving secondary schools across the district that will each offer fresh, new culinary-inspired menu offerings this school year. We have partnered with the district to provide educational resources for students that include classroom activities, lessons, and recipes to bring home to parents. Listening to our students is key to the success of these new menus, which will now offer many customizable, made-to-order options, making student choice the focus!
Please visit duvalschools.org for the complete list of CEP sites in our Duval County Public Schools.
DID YOU KNOW? Breakfast is FREE for all DCPS Students!

We are very excited to help this delicious and nutritious produce get “from the garden to the tray.”
