Food & Nutrition Services

The Springboro Schools Food and Nutrition Services Department incorporates whole grains, low-fat dairy options, fresh produce, and low sodium products into every meal at an affordable price. We offer side items to enhance a meal or provide an after school snack. All à la carte items offered are USDA Smart Snack compliant.

We are a self-supporting district department, meaning no tax dollars fund the Food and Nutrition Department and all costs (equipment, supplies, and salaries) are paid via students or staff purchasing a school meal and federal reimbursement from the National School Lunch Program.

We look forward to serving your student(s) in one of our cafeterias soon!

Food Allergies and Special Diets

Does your student have a food allergy/intolerance or special dietary needs?


Please fill out our Special Diet and Food Allergy Accommodation Form for any student that has a food allergy, special diet, or needs a food substitution or accommodation within their school breakfast/lunch. This does not need to be filled out annually, only when/if information changes. This is different from the Allergy and Anaphylaxis Emergency Action Plan.

Please submit this form to either [email protected] or your building clinic nurse. 


(Note: This form must be filled out, even if you have provided this information previously to your school nurse in another way, such as through Registration Gateway.)

FAQs

What if my child's food allergy does not need a substitution? 
This form still needs to be filled out for required tracking purposes in the food service office, but you are not required to have a licensed medical provider's signature. Please note, if your student requires emergency medication, you do need to still fill out the Emergency Allergy Plan with your school nurse.  

Is this information shared with my school nurse?
Yes. This form will be shared with both your school nurse and the district’s food service manager. 

My student has celiac disease and needs to have a gluten free diet. What should I do?
Please fill out the form and have your licensed medical provider sign it as well as list substitutions that need to be made (ie. gluten free). Once the form is received by the food service manager, we will reach out to you to discuss a special gluten free menu for your student. 

My student is lactose intolerant, can they get juice instead of milk?
These substitutions will need to be approved on a case-by-case basis. Please fill out the form and return it with a licensed medical provider’s signature. Foods will only be substituted if consuming food substantially limits one or more major life activities: impaired immune, digestive, neurological systems, bowel functions, etc.

My student does NOT have a food allergy or disability that requires a special diet, but I want to note on my student’s meal account that they cannot eat meat. Is this form required? 
No. This form is not required for a note to be listed on an account that does not pertain to a food allergy or disability. Please email [email protected] with this information. 

My student already gets a special diet or is provided a substitution, do I still need to fill this out? 
Yes. We need a form for any student with a food allergy that needs it noted on their school lunch account or requires a special diet, accommodation, or substitution.

Summer EBT/SUN Bucks

Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer (SEBT), also known as SUN Bucks, is a summer assistance program that provides grocery benefits to low-income families with school-aged children when schools are closed for the summer. Summer EBT benefits will either be loaded to a household’s Ohio Direction Card, on last year’s Summer EBT card, or to a benefit card sent in the mail in a plain white envelope addressed to each eligible child. Eligible children will receive a one-time benefit of $120 that can be used to buy food during the summer months at grocery stores, farmers markets, and other authorized retailers.
