Student Nutrition & Food Services

The School District of Brown Deer is deeply committed to student nutrition, providing high-quality and delicious meal options that cater to the wide nutritional needs of our diverse student body. In partnership with Aramark, we offer well-balanced menus that meet the rigorous standards of the USDA’s National School Lunch Program, ensuring every student receives the essential fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and grains required for their age and activity level. Our goal is to fuel academic success by serving appealing, wholesome meals that students truly enjoy.
