Learning to make healthy choices is essential to getting the most from life. Helping children grow up healthy takes families, schools and communities working together. Paola School District has a Wellness Policy that encourages eating healthy and supports physical activity for students and staff. Our current policy will soon be modified to reflect the changes in the school meal pattern and the Smart Snacks Rule. These are both part of the “Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act” of 2010. A link to the current wellness policy is provided below.

STUDENTS WHO EAT BREAKFAST SCORE HIGHER IN OVERALL HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE!
BREAKFAST has choices which meet USDA guidelines for healthy students. Items offered are milk, fruit, juice, whole grain rich bread items and protein. Menus are available on the district website and are posted at all buildings.
LUNCH has unlimited choices of fruit and vegetables in all grades. Secondary schools have an unlimited garden bar daily. Simple Simon's pizza is available at High School and Middle School on Wednesdays for $2 per slice. If you do not wish for your student to be able to purchase additional entrees and pizza, please contact Paola Food Service and we will disallow these purchases in your student's account.
Additionally, High School and Middle School offer ala carte choices such as cookies, cinnamon rolls and sugar free drinks daily on a cash-only basis.
1% Chocolate and 1% White Milk are available with all meals.

Meal Substitutions and/or Modifications
Meal substitutions and/or modifications can be made only with complete and specific written instructions from a licensed physician, and must be renewed each school year. These instructions should be sent to the Food Service office at Paola High School.
Specific forms to document food allergies or intolerance are available at individual school offices, nurse's offices as well as the district food service office.
NEW FLUID MILK SUBSTITUTION RULE
Students have the opportunity to choose only those foods that they intend to eat. This reduces waste and helps control costs. They may choose to take only three of the four meal components offered at breakfast and at lunch. A component may consist of more than one food item in order for for the meal to qualify for reimbursement. The price per meal remains the same whether you select the minimum or all five items.
Meal Cards
Middle School and High School students are responsible for their meal card, and must bring them to the cafeteria each day. The new point-of-sale system uses the student I.D. number for their meal account. If a student loses their card, they will be responsible for learning their number and entering it into the pin pad at the serving line. Elementary cards will be maintained by the point-of-sale clerk at each elementary building.
District Meal Charging Policy
Students who are Reduced or Paid status are allowed to charge up to $5.00 for reduced status and $10.00 for paid status. Once a student has reached the allowable charge limit they will be offered an alternate lunch of Sunbutter & Jelly Sandwich and a milk for two days. Each site will keep an accounting of all Alt Meals served by building.
