Nutrition Services
Our Estacada Nutrition Services department is leading the way in fueling students' nutritional needs for educational success!
General Information
In Estacada School District our school lunches offer a complete selection of foods for students to enjoy. The food we serve is made from wholesome, whole grain, low fat, and low sodium ingredients, and fruits and vegetables are offered daily. Students are encouraged to come back for as many fruits and vegetables as they want, and many of the foods served in ESD cafeterias are Oregon-grown.
Our lunch and breakfast menus are constantly evolving as local foods are in season and the tastes of our students change. Our schools host tasting events in school cafeterias to introduce students to new and nutritious foods while giving students input into their cafeteria menu. We do our best to serve students quickly and always with a smile, and we appreciate our students and families' help to keep lunch accounts current.
