The Danville Public Schools Child Nutrition department makes every effort to accommodate children's special dietary needs so that all students can participate in school meals. When a student requires a special diet, we want to be sure that all necessary information has been communicated to the cafeteria manager so the manager can serve the student safely and in accordance with school meal program regulations.

PARENTS & LICENSED MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS:
If your child requires a special diet, please complete the following form, sign and return to the school nurse. A signature from a physician or licensed medical professional may be required in some cases. This form should also be used by licensed medical professionals providing this information on behalf of their patient.

Special Diet Prescription

SCHOOL NURSES:
If you are aware of a child that has special dietary needs and did not receive anything in writing from a parent/guardian, or if the diet prescription is not clearly written, please use the following form to communicate this information with the cafeteria manager so we can comply with the special diet. If you have received a Diet Prescription Form signed by a parent or medical professional, you can send a copy of that form to the cafeteria manager.

Special Diet Order for Cafeteria Manager

The Child Nutrition department can provide free snacks to students who stay after school for enrichment activities such as tutoring. The staff member in charge of the enrichment program should request the snack on behalf of the students.

The snack will consist of two food components, most often a 100% fruit juice and a whole grain snack. Students are required to take both items for it to count as a reimbursable snack. Since all students may not want both items, it is recommended to set up a share table/desk in the room to provide an opportunity for the other students to have the unwanted items and reduce waste.

If you are planning to provide afterschool enrichment and would like a snack for your students, please complete the form in the link below and email, fax or send to the Child Nutrition Office.
