Northwest ISD Pre-Kindergarten menus must uphold all government regulations set by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and National School Lunch Program (NSLP) regulations. Pre-Kindergarten regulations ensure menus encourage healthy portion sizes and adequate nutrition.

Our Pre-Kindergarten breakfast menus are the same as the Elementary School breakfast menu. Pre-Kindergarten lunch menus follow a different meal pattern than the Elementary School lunch menu.

Pre-Kindergarten lunch menus are different from the Elementary School menu.  Pre-Kindergarten lunch menus:

Only offer white milk.
Only offer three entrée choices.
Don’t allow students to choose their side items.
Require all fruits, veggies, and milk listed on the menu must be placed on the child’s tray.

Pre-Kindergarten lunch menus are posted at https://nisdtx.nutrislice.com.  To view the menu, go to your child’s school and click on the lunch menu.  The entire Pre-Kindergarten lunch menu is under the “Pre-K” header. 

Charging Policy

All Northwest ISD students can charge up to 5 combo meals (breakfast or lunch) with a maximum charge limit of $15 for students. Adults and children not enrolled in the district are not allowed to charge.

After the charging limit has been reached, NISD students will receive a courtesy meal. A breakfast courtesy meal includes two pieces of toast with the students’ choice of milk, juice, and/or fruit. A lunch courtesy meal includes a sunflower butter & jelly sandwich with the students’ choice of milk, juice, and/or fruit.  Courtesy meals must include fruit and meet combo meals guidelines.

Parents/guardians are responsible for all their child(ren)’s meal account charges. This also applies to all meal charges accrued before getting on the free and reduced program. Go to http://northwestisd.schoollunchapp.com to apply for free or reduced-price school meals.
