Nutrition and learning go hand in hand. Children who have proper nutrition have more energy and stamina to learn at school. Studies have found that students who do not have adequate nutrition are more likely to have behavior problems, lower grades, and a higher rate of absenteeism.
The DeForest Area School District offers breakfast and lunch each day for all full-day students. Meals offered at school meet the USDA Dietary Guidelines and provide the proper nutrition for students to fully achieve at school.

DAHS Meal Deals & Ala Carte Information
Students and families often have questions about what is included with a meal vs. what is ala carte at the high school. Top two things to remember is a meal must include a 1/2 cup of fruit or vegetable and student accounts must be positive to purchase ala carte items.

Milk break happens everyday for students in kindergarten - grade 3. It costs $0.40 and is deducted from your student's lunch account. If you qualify for free or reduced meals, milk break is of no cost. The teacher will charge the account daily if your student chooses a milk.
