Student Wellness & Nutrition

A red lunch tray holds a balanced meal: sandwich, fruit, yogurt, and milk.

At Shelley School District, student success starts with student health.

Healthy students learn better, stay focused longer, and have improved attendance and behavior. Our Child Nutrition Program supports the physical and mental well-being of every student by providing nutritious meals, encouraging healthy choices, and promoting active lifestyles throughout the school day.

We follow all requirements of the USDA National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and Smart Snacks in Schools regulations.
