The Putnam County School Nutrition Team strives to provide meals for students with special dietary needs. We will make menu modifications and substitutions when appropriate and economically feasible. To assist parents and medical professionals, our menu nutrient information can be made available.
Menu substitutions must be made for children with a classified physical or mental disability when supported by a signed Physician's Medical Statement. Menu substitutions may also be made for children with special dietary conditions unrelated to a disability (i.e. some food allergies, diabetes) when supported by a Medical Statement signed by a recognized medical authority (physician, nurse practitioner, or registered dietitian).
The School Nutrition Team is unable to accommodate non-medically prescribed special diets. For your convenience, menus are available online so that you and your student may consider the meal options, and determine if your student prefers a meal from home on a given day.
A Meal Modification Form is available at each School Nurse's Office. A copy of that form is also linked below.
