The Alaska Gateway
School District school meals are planned by a school
nutrition specialist, to reflect the Dietary Guidelines
for Americans and student preferences. Food specifications
and food preparation assist in this effort. It is a
continuous process that requires the cooperative efforts
of students, Child Nutrition Services, and the food
industry. A variety of fruits and vegetables are offered
to help increase our student’s consumption of
fruits and vegetables. Nutrient analysis is available
upon request.
AGSD uses an Offer versus Serve system to allow the
students some freedom in making their food choices.
Students are offered a minimum of five food items at
lunch and four food items at breakfast. Students must
take a least three of the items offered at the meal,
but may select one of each item.
