We are excited to announce a new addition to the St. Mark’s Day School website designed to make school day planning easier for our families! We have launched a dedicated Monthly Menus page where parents can access official meal calendars at any time.
Our goal is to ensure every student is nourished and ready to learn. Through our partnership with the Office of Food & Nutrition Services, we provide balanced, high-quality meals that support student health and wellness.
What’s Featured on the New Page?
To keep things simple, the new page will serve as a central archive for our meal documents. Here is what you can find:
- Official PDF Downloads: Easily view the full monthly calendar for both breakfast and lunch.
- Locally Sourced Ingredients: We are proud to support food that is grown, harvested, or produced right here in New York.
- Nutritional Transparency: All menus clearly label Vegetarian (V) and Vegan (VE) options to help you make the best choices for your child’s dietary needs.
- Variety and Freshness: From fresh New York bagels to seasonal fruits like apples, bananas, and strawberries, our meals are designed to be both nutritious and delicious.
Important Reminders for Families
While you can find the full details in the monthly PDFs, please keep these standing guidelines in mind:
- Pre-K Safety: Per regulations, our Pre-K students cannot be offered chocolate milk or chicken on the bone.
- Daily Alternatives: If your child prefers an alternative to the hot entrée, we offer daily options including Peanut Butter or Sunflower Seed Butter & Jelly sandwiches, cheese sandwiches, and hummus with pretzels.
- Healthy Standards: All of our menus adhere to an extensive list of prohibited ingredients to ensure food quality.
How to Access the Menus
You can find the new page here or under the Resources tab on our main website menu. We will update this section at the start of every month with the latest menu document.
