From Food Services
Dear Families,
The King Philip Regional School District Food Service Department is asking for your
patience and support as we navigate new challenges. As you may be aware, we are
currently faced with unprecedented shortages of food and packaging materials, massive
delays or cancellations of deliveries, and department labor shortages. Nationwide
shortages and delays have affected availability of certain food items, leading to
substitutions of menu items we’ve been able to offer regularly in the past. These supply
issues are occurring throughout the country and are especially challenging for school
systems, due to the quantity of meals we serve and the nutrition standards we follow.
All of this means that we may need to make quick substitutions to our menu(s) based
upon what we are able to acquire. We know that this affects students, and we are doing
our best to provide updates about menu changes when possible as soon as we identify
an issue.
Please know that our number one priority continues to be providing healthy, nutritious,
and appetizing meals for your children. We love seeing them every day and appreciate
your support and patience as we continue to offer meals at no charge for all students.
The good news is that free breakfast and lunch will continue throughout the school year,
so please stick with us while we face yet another challenge. Your participation helps our
program stay strong, and we look forward to serving you!
Warmly,
Mary Ann Reynolds
KPRSD Food Service Director
