Food Service

CVSD has partnered with The Nutrition Group, a food service management company which manages the District's food service department.  The Nutrition Group provides a variety of nutritious school meals to all our students.  The well-being of our students is a top priority, and we believe that proper nutrition is essential for good health and readiness to learn.  For more information about the Nutrition Group, click the graphic below.
