Breakfast & Nutrition School breakfasts are Healthy! Eating a healthy breakfast at school provides nutritional benefits and leads to improved eating habits throughout the school day and at home. Studies have shown that students who eat breakfast have higher educational and nutritional achievements than students who don’t. Child Nutrition Services invites you to join them for breakfast!

Offer vs. Serve Offer vs. Serve (OVS) is an approved USDA method for meal service and menu planning. Northside has implemented this method at all campuses District-wide. OVS allows students to decline minimum food components offered in a reimbursable breakfast or lunch. OVS has several benefits, including permitting students to choose the foods they want to eat, and reducing food costs and waste. Because students may choose fewer selections under OVS, guidance is provided on what constitutes a reimbursable lunch and breakfast. Students choosing more than required will be charged à la carte pricing. For more information, contact your Cafeteria Manager.
