FROM OUR CAFETERIA:

What’s Cooking?

At school, there’s always a meal ready to be served!

Some mornings, it’s tough to find the time to make sure your kids are eating a nutritious breakfast. On those days, why not send them to the School Breakfast Program? Each meal meets government nutritional guidelines and standards.  Schools are required to provide a breakfast meal that includes fruit, whole-grain rich items, and low fat or fat free milk. Check your child’s menu to see the variety of nutritious choices available at School Breakfast, or stop by to sample the food yourself!

Please contact Sarah Martinelli, MS, RD in the Food & Nutrition Department at 623.445.5165 or sarah.martinelli@dvusd.org if you are interested in joining the team.

2015 Deer Valley University:  … from boundaries to budget and more!   Now in its 12th year, Deer Valley University is a series of workshops for parents, community members, and staff in the Deer Valley Unified School District. Deer Valley University is intended to provide participants with a basic understanding of how the Deer Valley Unified School District works. A look at various departments within the district, along with the rules and regulations governing schools and districts, will be offered. You will learn about DVUSD from boundaries to budget and more!  You have two options for attending. Participants who register for and attend all five sessions will “graduate” from DVU. Participants may also elect to register for specific sessions that are of interest. Either way, we invite you to come and learn about your school district. This class will meet for five consecutive Thursdays in the Governing Board Room at the District Office from 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. beginning April 9th.     How do I register?  Call  Carrie Finch at 623-445-5003 or email carrie.finch@dvusd.org.
