Student special dietary accommodations

If your student has special dietary accommodations that your school does not already know about, please contact your school nurse – even if you don’t plan to have your student take school meals. Schools can make some meal accommodations for students with special dietary needs; ask your child’s health care provider to complete this form and submit it to your school nurse.  The school nurse will submit your completed form to Nutrition Services for approval and coordination of accommodations with kitchen staff. Learn more about special dietary accommodations on the the OSPI website.
