NTPS Food & Nutrition Services

  • logo The U.S. Department of Agriculture has extended a waiver that will allow us to serve free meals to all students enrolled in in-person learning through June, 2022.

    HOWEVER, families are still encouraged to submit a new application for free or reduced price meals for SY 2021-2022.  Click here to apply.

    Regular meal service is coming this fall, but challenges with food supply and delivery may cause posted menus to change with little notice. Despite challenges, we are excited to feed all students at no charge this year. Thank you so much for your understanding and continued support.

    Welcome to North Thurston Public Schools Food and Nutrition Services department! We are committed to providing delicious, high quality, nutritious meals to the growing bodies and minds of students.  We serve over 2,200 breakfast and 7,500 lunches each day to students. Breakfast and lunch are available at all school locations.

    Research shows there is a crucial relationship between good nutrition and positive academic performance. NTPS strives to provide quality meals at affordable prices to promote learning readiness and healthy eating behaviors. NTPS participates in the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program. Monthly menus are planned by a Registered Dietitian to meet USDA specifications based on the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
