Meals
Food and Nutrition Services
Chemawa Indian School has a full-service cafeteria. It is staffed full time and provides USDA approved nutritionally balanced meals daily. Our facilities are inspected annually by the Indian Health Service Sanitation department for proper food handling procedures. All students will be required to obtain food handler’s cards.
Chemawa Indian School will provide three meals daily, Monday through Friday and two meals, brunch and dinner, on weekends. Snacks are provided each evening. Meals are served cafeteria-style and consumed in a dining room atmosphere. Students with dietary restrictions or preferences may request special meals through the cafeteria staff. Allergies noted on the student application are communicated to the food service staff prior to the school year. Students are required to clear their tables when they finish and deliver trays to the dish room for washing.
During the breakfast and dinner meals, students are assigned to a mandatory “kitchen detail” on a rotating basis. Students assist food service staff in serving and cleaning up. Students are required to serve kitchen details when they are assigned. Failure to serve assigned detail will result in referral, restriction or community service hours.
