Homer Central Schools prides itself on offering nutritious meals that meet federal guidelines established for school meals. School lunches must provide 1/3 of the recommended dietary allowances of protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, iron, calcium and calories. No more that 30% of calories can come from fat and less than 10% from saturated fat. Ala carte items will meet the district's wellness policy. Parents can limit access to ala carte items by filling out the no charge meal restriction form.

Breakfast - students are offered a choice of entree, juice and/or fruit and milk. Students must take at least three of the four meal components for a reimbursable meal. Breakfast is available prior to first period every day. *Breakfast will not be offered when the district has a two hour delay.

Lunch - students are offered a choice of meat/meat alternate, at least two servings each of fruits/vegetables, bread and milk. Students are permitted to decline two of the five required five food items.
