Feeding Bodies & Fueling Minds

Welcome to Maricopa Unified School District's Child Food and Nutrition Department.

The MUSD Child Food & Nutrition Department offers students well-balanced, inexpensive breakfasts and lunches. Over the past few years, The Food and Nutrition Department has been modifying its menus and programs to provide healthier choices for our students. We have switched to low-fat dairy products, served more poultry, used more whole-grain baked goods, and offer a greater variety of fresh and unsweetened fruits and vegetables than ever before. We do not serve fried foods. You can be confident when your child dines with us knowing our meals meet the high nutrition standards of the Healthy Hungry Free Kids Act. All students are encouraged to eat school meals to gain the nourishment they need for high performance in the classroom and beyond.

MEAL COST

• Breakfast is served free of charge to all students K-12 every school day.
• Lunch cost for K-12 is $3.50 per day.
