Here's how you can get the most out of MealViewer: \nCreate a profile\nto save student information and provide feedback on school meals. With a profile, you can add allergens to get notified when they are on school menus. Creating a profile is not required to view menus for your school. For assistance setting up your profile, view \nthe instructional video.\nDownload the app\nto access MealViewer on the go. Find the MealViewer app in the Apple and Google stores. To learn more about navigating the app, view the introductory video in \nEnglish\n or \nSpanish\n.\nGet support \nand find answers to your questions by contacting the Office of Nutrition Support Services at\nFood@cps.edu\n.\nChanges to Meal Service\nAs a result of reduced staffing, schools may experience changes in meal service. These may include simplified menus, fewer hot meal options, or cold meals being served on certain days. While we will maintain our current free breakfast and lunch program, menu offerings may change with little to no notice.\nPlease know that we are doing our best to serve meals as planned. Thank you for dining with us! If you have questions or concerns, please email\nfood@cps.edu\n.\nBreakfast After the Bell\nBreakfast helps students focus and feel good. Students who arrive late to school can access free breakfast up to one hour before the start of the first lunch period. Times may vary by school. Signage will be posted in schools to inform families of the location and time that Breakfast After the Bell is available.\nDietary Accommodations\nAll menus are pork-free, and vegetarian options are available at breakfast and lunch, daily. To request a plant-based menu please email\nfood@cps.edu\n.  Families can also filter the top allergens on school menus using\nMealViewer’s\n“allergens” feature. \nFor additional support accommodating other dietary restrictions email food@cps.edu. Reasonable menu accommodations will be made for students with documented food allergies or intolerances. Complete and return the Physician Statement for Food Substitution [\nENGLISH\n|\nSPANISH\n] to your school nurse or food@cps.edu.\nReporting Issues with School Food\nIf there is an issue with a single meal, the student should notify the school’s dining manager, who should offer another option.\nIf there are consistent issues with the food at your school, please take the following steps:\nContinue to report them to your dining manager.\nReport the issue to your school principal.\nBegin to keep a daily log.\nReport the issues to\nfood@cps.edu\n.\nNon-Discrimination Statement\nIn accordance with Federal civil rights law and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) civil rights regulations and policies, the USDA, its Agencies, offices, and employees, and institutions participating in or administering USDA programs are prohibited from discriminating based on race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity in any program or activity conducted or funded by USDA.\nPersons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication for program information (e.g. Braille, large print, audiotape, American Sign Language, etc.), should contact the Agency (State or local) where they applied for benefits.

Main Home / Services and Supports School Meals and Nutrition Chicago Public Schools offers free, nutritionally balanced breakfast, lunch, and snacks to all students. View School Menus Find the latest school meal menus, nutrition information and more by searching for your school name below or visiting cps.edu/mealviewer . Search for your school on MealViewer No results found Get the Most Out of MealViewer CPS school menus are now available on MealViewer , an online menu service that keeps communities up-to-date on their school’s daily breakfast and lunch menus. Here's how you can get the most out of MealViewer: Create a profile to save student information and provide feedback on school meals. With a profile, you can add allergens to get notified when they are on school menus. Creating a profile is not required to view menus for your school. For assistance setting up your profile, view the instructional video. Download the app to access MealViewer on the go. Find the MealViewer app in the Apple and Google stores. To learn more about navigating the app, view the introductory video in English or Spanish . Get support and find answers to your questions by contacting the Office of Nutrition Support Services at Food@cps.edu . Changes to Meal Service As a result of reduced staffing, schools may experience changes in meal service. These may include simplified menus, fewer hot meal options, or cold meals being served on certain days. While we will maintain our current free breakfast and lunch program, menu offerings may change with little to no notice. Please know that we are doing our best to serve meals as planned. Thank you for dining with us! If you have questions or concerns, please email food@cps.edu . Breakfast After the Bell Breakfast helps students focus and feel good. Students who arrive late to school can access free breakfast up to one hour before the start of the first lunch period. Times may vary by school. Signage will be posted in schools to inform families of the location and time that Breakfast After the Bell is available. Dietary Accommodations All menus are pork-free, and vegetarian options are available at breakfast and lunch, daily. To request a plant-based menu please email food@cps.edu . Families can also filter the top allergens on school menus using MealViewer’s “allergens” feature. For additional support accommodating other dietary restrictions email food@cps.edu. Reasonable menu accommodations will be made for students with documented food allergies or intolerances. Complete and return the Physician Statement for Food Substitution [ ENGLISH | SPANISH ] to your school nurse or food@cps.edu. Reporting Issues with School Food If there is an issue with a single meal, the student should notify the school’s dining manager, who should offer another option. If there are consistent issues with the food at your school, please take the following steps: Continue to report them to your dining manager. Report the issue to your school principal. Begin to keep a daily log. Report the issues to food@cps.edu . Non-Discrimination Statement In accordance with Federal civil rights law and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) civil rights regulations and policies, the USDA, its Agencies, offices, and employees, and institutions participating in or administering USDA programs are prohibited from discriminating based on race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity in any program or activity conducted or funded by USDA. Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication for program information (e.g. Braille, large print, audiotape, American Sign Language, etc.), should contact the Agency (State or local) where they applied for benefits. Individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing or have speech disabilities may contact USDA through the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877-8339. Additionally, program information may be made available in languages other than English. To file a program complaint of discrimination, complete the USDA Program Discrimination Complaint Form, (AD-3027), which may also be found at any USDA office, or write a letter addressed to USDA and provide in the letter all of the information requested in the form. To request a copy of the complaint form, call (866) 632-9992. Submit your completed form or letter to USDA by: Mail: U.S. Department of Agriculture Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights 1400 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, D.C. 20250-9410; 2.

Here's how you can get the most out of MealViewer: - **Create a profile** to save student information and provide feedback on school meals. With a profile, you can add allergens to get notified when they are on school menus. Creating a profile is not required to view menus for your school. For assistance setting up your profile, view [the instructional video.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5zxLlcg064) - **Download the app** to access MealViewer on the go. Find the MealViewer app in the Apple and Google stores.

These may include simplified menus, fewer hot meal options, or cold meals being served on certain days. While we will maintain our current free breakfast and lunch program, menu offerings may change with little to no notice. Please know that we are doing our best to serve meals as planned.
