If a student requires a special diet/meal, the school nurse will request a Diet Prescription for Meals at School form signed by the student’s doctor.
When the form is signed by the doctor and returned to the school nurse, he/she forwards the form the cafeteria manager.
Each cafeteria manager will keep the original form on file at the cafeteria and forward a copy to the CNP Director for documentation purposes.
Each cafeteria manager is responsible for training/communicating with the school nurse/student/teacher concerning the student’s special diet needs.
If a problem arises that cannot be resolved at the school level, the CNP Director will be contacted for guidance.
When applicable, the Special Education Director or his/her designee will offer guidance and/or the completed Diet Prescription for Meals at School form.
