Food Service
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I am excited to introduce myself as the new Food Service Director for Kelloggsville Public Schools. My name is Kris Curtis, and I bring over 20 years of experience in food service. I have a deep passion for feeding children and ensuring they receive nutritious and delicious meals each day.
Providing the best possible breakfast and lunch options for your student is my top priority. At Kelloggsville Public Schools, we are proud to participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), which means that all students are offered a free, nutritious school breakfast and lunch every school day. This program ensures that every child has access to healthy meals, supporting their growth, learning, and overall well-being.
I look forward to serving your students and working together to promote healthy eating habits. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to reach out.
Sincerely,
Kris Curtis
Food Service Director

Kelloggsville Breakfast and Lunch Times
Kelloggsville Food Service Smart Snack Policy
Smart Snacks for Schools policy went into effect on July 1, 2014, per the USDA part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. In order for our schools to become compliant, we must follow certain guidelines regarding foods sold in schools, fundraisers, and more. These regulations are in effect from midnight until 30 minutes after the end of the school day.
Wondering how "for sale to students" is defined? Any food provided to students that requires payment, contribution, or the exchange of tickets or tokens of any sort would be required to be compliant with the Smart Snacks nutrition standards. Items not available to students (such as food available only to adults) for consumption during the school day or food brought in for sack lunches, school celebrations, holiday parties, etc. would be exempt.
To Qualify as a smart snack, a snack or entree must first meet the general nutrition standards. *Be a grain product that contains 50 percent or more whole grains by weight (have a whole grain as the first ingredient); or *Have as the first ingredient a fruit, a vegetable, a dairy food, or a protein food; or *Be a combination food that contains at least 1/4 cup of fruit and/or vegetable (for example, 1/4 cup raisins with enriched pretzels); and *The food must meet the nutrient standards for calories, sodium, fats and standards for calories, sodium, fats, and total sugars.
