Expanded MRSD Food Services information on website
We are excited to offer a new Food Services website that provides expanded information on our school meals, including nutritional counts, allergy information, and more. To access these details, visit monomoy.edu and click on Our District --> Food Services. You can still directly access breakfast and lunch menus by clicking on the fork and knife icon on the right side of every home page, as well as via the Monomoy app.
Highlights include:
- For every menu posted, you can hover over the items to get detailed information on nutritional data.
- Users can subscribe to get menus emailed to them.
- There are a variety of resources available on nutrition education.
We hope you find our expanded Food Services website helpful and informative. As always, I can be reached at gpetracca@monomoy.edu.
Thank you!
