Colville School District is going Scratch Cooking!

During the 2022-2023 school year, you will see a new type of menu. We are focusing on bringing our students nutritious, ingredient-based menu items creating a “from scratch menu”. Our menus will continue to follow the USDA Guidelines for appropriate grades as
well as provide new flavors and varieties. We’re excited to bring these
changes to our district kitchens and ask for patience as we work to improve our menus.

If you have questions or comments about the Colville School District Food Service program, please contact:
