Food Services
Welcome and thank you for allowing Salinas City Elementary School District (SCESD) the opportunity to provide your children with nutritionally balanced meals. We wholeheartedly believe that students who eat better learn better!
Salinas City Elementary School District Food Services Department provides meals under the National School Breakfast, National School Lunch, Fresh Fruit and Vegetable, Child and Adult Care Food (Super Snack), and Seamless Summer Programs. Food Services provides students nutritionally sound meals to enhance their ability to learn, serving 12,000 meals daily during the school year, including breakfast, lunch and Super Snacks. Additionally, 22,000 summer meals are served annually, bringing the total to nearly 2 million meals served each year. These meals are provided at 15 sites supported by 70 Food Services professionals.
To assist the District in accessing all available state and federal funds, Food Services sends out an annual income survey to families. The information gathered in the survey is kept confidential. If you prefer to fill out the survey online, please use this link to access this year's survey. The survey is due by Sept. 30.
Income Survey
Please take a few minutes to complete our important survey. Your participation is crucial in securing the necessary funding and resources to provide healthy, nutritious meals to every child in our district. Together, we can make sure no student goes hungry. Thank you for your support!
