Dear Nebo Parents,

Exciting News!  We're delighted to inform you about updates to our monthly Child Nutrition Menus.  You can now conveniently access the breakfast and lunch menu by clicking on the "School Lunch" link on your school's website or by visiting the district website at Nebo.edu.  Simply navigate to the Department tab, click on Child Nutrition, and then select Menu.

No matter which route you choose, you'll be prompted to specify the school level you are interested in and then select either breakfast or lunch.  We've addressed previous concerns about the cumbersome appearance of our old menus and the inability to print the monthly menu on a single page.  These issues have been successfully resolved, along with the addition of other exciting enhancements. 

  • Printing the monthly menu is easy - Just select the PDF/Print option at the top.  You'll be able to choose whether to print the calendar with or without images.

  • Want to find out the carb count?  Simply navigate to the nutrient menu at the top and select "Carb Count."  Click on the foods your student plans to eat for the day, and the system will maintain a cumulative count at the bottom.  On the right side, you'll also receive details about foods containing gluten, soy, dairy and more.

  • To view comprehensive nutritional information for each menu item, simply choose"Nutrition Report Card" from the dropdown menu under nutrients.  

Pro Lunch Tips 

  • Did you know your secondary students can expedite their lunch line experience by scanning their School ID card at the terminal instead of punching their number?  They can also take a picture of it and use their phone to scan at the terminal. 

  • The latest menus come with a convenient app for on-the-go access.  Simply download the "Web Menus by Isite Software app from the App Store or Google Play.  Please note that, currently, the app does not support loading money into student lunch accounts.

  • To add funds to your student's lunch account, you have a couple of options.  You can log into your Infinite Campus account and choose to make a one-time deposit or set up recurring deposits on a specific date each month.  Alternatively, you can make payments directly at your school's lunchroom. 

  • Would you like the menu sent directly to your inbox each month?  Simply go to the main menu screen (before selecting the specific breakfast or lunch menu option) and click on the "Going Green" image.  Enter your email address and choose each school you would like to receive menus from. Click save on the next screen and the menu will be automatically delivered to you each month.

We often receive the question, "Can I contribute funds to assist in clearing student lunch balances?" The answer is a resounding Yes! If you'd like to make a donation to help alleviate lunch debt for Nebo students, you can do so by bringing cash, a check, or a credit card to the Child Nutrition Department at 350 South Main in Spanish Fork. If you have a specific school or student in mind for your donation, please inform us during the donation process and we'll ensure it reaches the intended destination, or we can apply it to balances of greatest need. The great advantage of donating through this method is that 100% of the funds will go directly towards paying off student lunch debts . 

We take great joy in working with Nebo students and contributing to their school day experience.  Crafting a daily menu of hot, delicious meals is a source of pride for us.  The relationship we share with parents is highly valued, and we appreciate any feedback or questions you may have.  Your input is always welcome!

Thank You,

Nebo Child Nutrition Team
