School Nutrition

Welcome to Crane School Nutrition!

At Crane we are Leaders in Learning, and we believe good nutrition and learning go hand in hand.

We are dedicated to finding the balance between healthy choices and options that kids love.

That is why we are also Leaders in Nutrition.

ARIZONA HEALTHY SCHOOLS ACT

In compliance with The Arizona Healthy Schools Act, Crane District supports this initiative promoting healthy nutrition environment by offering foods and beverages that meet state and federal standards during the school day.

We value our partnership with parents and families in encouraging healthy choices at school and at home. Together, we help students develop positive eating habits that contribute to their academic success and overall well-being.

Please contact the School Nutrition Department if you have questions about this guideline. We are happy to provide further information.

No meal application needed!
All Crane Elementary District Schools participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP)
What that means for the parents is that we do not need to fill out Income Eligibility Meal Applications every year.

Every student has the opportunity to receive a FREE Breakfast meal and FREE Lunch meal while they are attending one of the Crane Schools.

If your student requires any special dietary considerations, please contact us so that we can work together to create a pleasant experience at every meal.
