“Building a Brighter Tomorrow out of a Healthier Today”

School Menus

Our meals consist of five components: a protein, a (preferably whole) grain, vegetables, fruit and milk. If you look at our menus you will see that we are creative and strive to introduce children to a variety of foods, and encourage them to eat a balanced and nutritious meal.

Reminder!  Our School Meals Charging Policy

At our elementary and middle schools, if a student comes to school with no food and no funds, they can charge their meal for that day. They are not allowed to charge a la carte items. There will be no charging allowed at the High School.

Charges must be paid back promptly. We are not funded by the school budget and in order to remain solvent need families to pay for their meals, or contact us if they need assistance in doing so.

You can easily pre-pay for your child’s meals online at www.myschoolbucks.com (see below). For more information, call Nutrition Services at (508) 881-0165.

ASHLAND PUBLIC SCHOOLS CONDUCTING CHILD SEARCH

In accordance with Federal Law, IDEA and Massachusetts Law 603CMR28.00, the Ashland Public Schools provides special education programs designed to meet the needs of children who are attending not only public schools but also those who are attending private school at private expense and whose parents reside in Ashland.

Ashland provides all children with an opportunity to participate in the public schools programs using a continuous and systematic effort to identify children in need of special education services.

The Ashland Public Schools will arrange for the provision and evaluation of those ages 16-21 who have not graduated from high school and who are not now attending school, or children ages 3 through 21 who are unable to progress effectively in a regular program due to a suspected disability consistent of a developmental delay or an intellectual, sensory, neurological, emotional, communication, physical, specific learning, or health impairment or combination thereof.

All programs and services are offered without regard to race, color, sex, religion, national origin, sexual orientation and disability. Contact the Student Services Department at (508) 881-0155 for more information.
