School Meals and Child Nutrition

Please keep in mind: Due to vendor limited availability, all menu items are subject to change without notice. The posted menus are for your convenience but may change. We are doing our best to keep to our menu. Our priority continues to be to provide nutritious meals to our students daily. Our Online Menus are updated continuously and will provide the most accurate information about your child's meals.

The Child Nutrition department is committed to providing healthy school meals to the students of the Simi Valley Unified School District in order to support student academic success and promote healthful eating habits that lead to lifelong positive nutrition practices. More than 10,000 student meals are served each school day. 

We strive to meet or exceed the meal standards recommended by the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. Our menus include fresh fruit, vegetables, whole-grain rich products, fat-free and low-fat milk, lower levels of sodium, saturated fat and zero trans fat in our meals.

Free, reduced and fully paid meals are served using an automated accounting system that protects the privacy of all students.
