School Meals
Battle Ground Public Schools has contracted with Sodexo School Services since the 2001-2002 academic year for the preparation and service of school meals. Sodexo employs 85 people in the Battle Ground district who in 2010-11 prepared and served an average of 1,750 full breakfasts every school day and 5,000 full lunches daily, in addition to a la carte items.
The entire Sodexo School Services organization focuses solely on the unique requirements of the K-12 school environment. This specialized attention assures the administration and parents that their children will have the nourishment and environment they need to fully participate in the education experience.
Our Sodexo service team is dedicated to nurturing the minds and bodies of the students at your child's school - and to keep their parents connected, through this site, you can check on your child's menus, access nutritional information, ask us questions, and find other useful links.
