The Mounds View Nutrition Services Department will provide special diet meals for students following our Special Diet Procedure, which starts with a Special Diet Statement completed by your physician.

• Nutrition Services district office must recieve a completed Special Diet Statement before any dietary accommodations are made.
• The Special Diet Statement is a form which provides information about the student, the disability for which the diet must be modified, defines which foods are to be omitted and substituted and is signed by a licensed physician, physician assistant or advanced nurse practioner.
• Please contact the Nutrition Service department at 651-621-6074 or email at nutritionservices@mvpschools.org with any additional questions.

FAQs:

What if my student can not drink cow's milk?

The parent/ guardian can write a note and send it to the school kitchen manager or nurse, or email a note to nutritionservices@mvpschools.org to indicate their student would like the milk substitute, vanilla soymilk.

What if my student has a tree nut or peanut allergy?

You do not need to request a special diet. The elementary menu does not have products that contain tree nuts or peanuts. Secondary schools offer packaged peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch, along with packaged items containing peanuts and tree nuts for sale in Ala Carte.

What if my student has a different allergy/allergies?

Choice #1 - Your family may utilize our online menus to filter by allergen and work with your student(s) to help them know what to self-select from the options that are available. Here are instructions to filter by allergen.The Nutrition Services Department is unable to aid students in self-selecting or monitor tray contents for students choosing to self-select from the main line. 

Choice #2 - You will need your physician to complete a Special Diet Statement prior to receiving a prepared special diet meal. In this instance, your family will order meals in advance and your student will not go through the lunch line or self-select.
