Meal Payment Options

Students have the opportunity to pre-pay for the meals they purchase from the cafeterias by sending cash or a check (made payable to Stanwood Camano School District or SCSD). Please make sure your child's name and account/pin number are on all correspondence and payments.

Parents can also make payments online through SKYWARD Family Access by selecting Food Service and Add payment. Money received is placed on your child's dining account and as meals and other food items are purchased, the cost will be appropriately deducted. Funds remaining on an account at the end of the school year will automatically roll to the next school year.

Menu changes

As Stanwood-Camano begins our 2022-23 school year, our Food Service Program is facing unprecedented supply chain issues. As a result, we may alter our posted menus with little to no notice.

These changes are due to limited product availability, nation-wide transportation challenges, and supplier labor shortages. We are working closely with our distributors and manufacturers to secure food and supply items needed to support our program.

While we plan to serve posted menu items each day, continued supply issues may not make this possible. We will attempt to substitute the scheduled menu with similar items to the extent we are able to do so.

Please know that all students will continue to be offered meals that meet menu requirements, nutrition standards, and student acceptability.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding during these challenging times.

EL AVISO

Debido a que el Stanwood-Camano comienza las clases del 2022-23, nuestro Programa de Servicios Alimentarios se está enfrentando a problemas sin precedentes vinculados a la cadena de suministros. Como consecuencia de esto, es posible que cambiemos nuestros menús con poca anticipación o sin previo aviso.

Estos cambios se deben a la limitada disponibilidad de productos, los problemas de transporte nacional, y la escasez de mano de obra. Estamos trabajando en estrecha colaboración con nuestros distribuidores y productores para asegurar los alimentos y suministros necesarios para llevar a cabo nuestro programa.

A pesar de que planeemos servir los alimentos publicados en nuestro menú cada día, puede que los problemas de suministro constantes nos imposibiliten concretarlo. Intentaremos sustituir el menú programado por productos similares en la medida de lo posible.

Tenga en cuenta que todos los estudiantes continuarán recibiendo comidas que cumplen con los requisitos del menú, los estándares de alimentación y la aceptabilidad de los alumnos.

Le agradecemos por su cooperación y comprensión durante estos tiempos difíciles.

About Food Services

Children need healthy meals to learn. Stanwood Camano School District offers healthy meals through the National School Lunch Program to students every school day. We provide a complete breakfast and lunch program, which meets or exceeds the nutritional requirements established by the National School Breakfast and Lunch Program. Breakfast and lunch are served at all schools.

The mid-level and high school have expanded menus with many a-la-carte features including daily fresh salads, low-fat yogurts, bagels, sandwiches, fresh fruit, and of course the kids' favorites including fresh-baked pizza and burgers and an assortment of fruit juices and milk. Menus are distributed monthly indicating the daily entree' specials.These meals feature less fat, less sodium, and more fruits and vegetables. Our district uses the Offer vs. Serve method to serving meals.

Offer versus Serve (OVS) is a provision in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP) that allows students to decline some of the food offered. The goals of OVS are to reduce food waste in the school meals programs while permitting students to decline foods they do not intend to eat (see below for more information). Here are some fact sheets about the National School Breakfast and Lunch Program and also information regarding Smart Snacks in Schools! Click on the below link for more information!
