Menu, Nutrition Info & Carb countsTop of Page
East Side Union High School District is meeting federal nutrition standards for school meals, ensuring that meals are healthy and well-balanced, and providing students with all the nutrition they need to succeed at school. Now is a great time to encourage your students to choose school lunch!
School meals offer students milk, fruits and vegetables, proteins, and grains, and they must meet strict limits on saturated fat, sodium, calorie, and portion size requirements. School lunches will meet standards requiring:
- Age-appropriate calorie limits
- Larger servings of vegetables and fruits (students must take a least one serving of produce)
- A wider variety of vegetables, including dark green and red/orange vegetables and legumes
- Fat-free or 1% milk (flavored milk must be fat-free)
- All whole grains
- Less sodium
- Sugar limits
We're always working to offer East Side Union High School District students healthier and tastier choices. The daily menu has a wide variety of choices including alternate protein choices and fresh fruits and vegetables.
School meals are a great value and a huge convenience for busy families too!
We look forward to welcoming and serving your student in the cafeteria this year.

Meal Substitutions for Medical or Special Dietary Reasons
USDA Regulation 7 CFR Part 15b requires substitutions or modifications in school meals for children whose disabilities restrict their diets. A child with a disability must be provided substitutions in foods when that need is supported by a signed statement from a licensed physician.
In Cases of Food Allergy
Generally, children with food allergies or intolerances do not have a disability as defined under either Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act or Part B of IDEA, and the school food service may, but is not required to, make food substitutions for them. However, when in the licensed physician’s assessment, food allergies may result in severe, life-threatening (anaphylactic) reactions, the child’s condition would meet the definition of “disability”, and the substitutions prescribed by the licensed physician must be made.
Child Nutrition Services (CNS) may make food substitutions, at their discretion, for individual children who do not have a disability, but who are medically certified as having a special medical or dietary need. Such determinations are only made on a case-by-case basis. This provision covers those children who have food intolerances or allergies but do not have life-threatening reactions (anaphylactic reactions) when exposed to the food(s) to which they have problems.
Medical Statement for Children with Special Dietary Needs
Each special dietary request must be supported by a statement explaining the requested food substitution and must be signed by a recognized medical authority. The Medical Statement must include:
- An identification of the medical or other special dietary condition which restricts the child’s diet;
- The food or foods to be omitted from the child’s diet; and
- The food or choice of foods to be substituted.
If we do not receive a medical statement from a recognized medical authority, your child will receive a regular meal. Medical statements completed by parents or guardians will not be accepted.
