Daily Student Meals at Wilkinsburg Schools
The Wilkinsburg School District understands the importance of proper nutrition and the role it plays in a child’s ability to perform in school. Free meals are provided to all students of the district under the direction of The Nutrition Group’s National School Breakfast Program (NSBP) and National School Lunch Program (NSLP).
The Nutrition Group transforms school breakfast and lunch into nutritious, lively, and fun programs that students and faculty eagerly participate in. Our school meals are healthy, diverse, and appealing, with the main focus always being on the student. The primary goal is to create a setting that helps them make the right choices and perform at their best. Eating healthy and making the right decisions about what to eat plays a big part in this effort.

Children with Disabilities and Special Dietary Needs
Schools participating in a federal school meal program (National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, Special Milk Program, and Afterschool Snack Program) are required to make reasonable accommodations for children who are unable to eat the school meals because of a disability that restricts their diet.
