Meals
Monthly menus are planned by our Nutrition Analyst, Kim Lagasse-Kickham (781)786-5292 to meet the required State and Federal nutrition guidelines for students according to grade level. As part of the National School Lunch and Breakfast programs we offer students balanced meals that contain five food components – whole grains, meats or meat alternatives, fruit, vegetables and milk. Students participate in offer versus serve in which they have the option to choose from certain meal components (in addition to a fruit or vegetable).
Please be advised that although we try our best to plan and keep to the monthly menu as posted – sometimes we have to modify menu items due to the following –
- Occasionally our distributors make “comparable” substitutions for products, or deliveries are delayed.
- We purchase fresh fruit and vegetables from local farms as available which may be after a menu is completed.
- Natural disasters beyond our control, such as power outages or storms that require Food Service to modify the meals offered at the last-minute.
All lunches for the 2026-2027 School Year will be free to all Weston Students. Any additional meals can be purchase at the following cost:

Food Allergies
For WPS Food Allergy Policy and Guidelines click here.
In recent years there have been an increasing number of students diagnosed with food allergies in our school system. In response we are taking precautions to keep our students safe. We communicate with school nurses regularly and have food allergy information for students listed in their lunch account. Ingredient lists are posted daily in each cafeteria and we can provide food labels upon request. Our kitchens are “Nut Aware” meaning that we do not serve any products containing nuts. We provide special lunches for students who have documented food allergies and prepare them in a separate location to prevent cross contamination. All Food Service Staff are ServSafe Certified and have allergy awareness training as required by the state of Massachusetts. We take every precaution to serve healthy, safe, and nutritious meals. We will make accommodations when possible to serve our diverse student body.
Parents or guardians of students with a life threatening food allergy are required to:
- Contact your School Nurse and submit all required medical documentation to them.
- Establish an alternative or back up lunch option with the School Nurse, Kitchen Manager and School Nutritionist.
- If you would like food label information, or need assistance regarding your child’s specific dietary needs, please contact Olivia DiBona or (781) 786 – 5292.
