Food Services
Good nutrition and academic success go hand in hand!
We are dedicated to our students' health, well-being, and their ability to learn, and we support academic success by providing healthy meal choices while promoting lifelong nutrition and fitness practices. Therefore, we are excited that we participate in the California Universal Meals Program.
Delicious and Nutritious Meals
Chefables provides all of the delicious meals we enjoy at TECA. We’re proud to say that Chefables Food meals:
- Are free of artificial preservatives, colors, flavors and sweeteners.
- Use whole grains, organic or locally grown vegetables and fruits.
- That are nutritionally balanced and tasty.
Universal Meals
Nutritional Excellence
We participate in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). The NSLP is a federally assisted meal program that provides nutritionally balanced, low cost or free meals to qualifying students. The food and beverages we sell or serve on our campuses meet the state and federal requirements, which are based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines.
Wellness Policy
Local educational agencies (LEA) that participate in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), and the School Breakfast Program (SBP), are required by federal law to establish a Local School Wellness Policy (LSWP) for all schools under its jurisdiction. LSWPs are an important tool for parents, LEAs, and school districts in promoting student wellness, preventing and reducing childhood obesity, and providing assurance that school meal nutrition guidelines meet the minimum federal school meal standards.
