The cafeteria supervisor does not prepare these lunches and does not have refrigeration space to store the meal. Remember to also call the Transportation Branch to book your trip. You must complete a “Field Trip Request” form. This form is ordered through the stock catalog by using stock number S274260. Field trip lunches are to be ordered by the teacher on a Request for Field Trip Lunches form (BD-919). Please see page 2.17 of the ABCs of Your Child Nutrition Program. The order must be placed two (2) weeks prior to the date of the trip. The completed form must be given to the cafeteria supervisor at least two (2) weeks prior to the trip, who will forward the information on to the Nutrition Center. If a student requires special dietary accommodations, the teacher will complete the Special Dietary Accommodations section on the “Request For Field Trip Lunches” form. The student’s lunch will be labeled with his/her name and the teacher will need to ensure that the student receives the special meal when distributing meals. The cafeteria supervisor will inform the Production Center if any student requires a special meal. The Production Center will obtain meal instructions from a Child Nutrition Specialist or Administrative Dietitian to accommodate special meal requests. In order to make the accommodation, the student must have a completed medical statement on file with Nutrition Services. The site cafeteria supervisor must have a complete roster of students participating in the field trip and receiving district-provided lunches. You may want to use Meal Participant Roster form (FS-118) if a classroom roster is not available. Please see page 2.18 of the ABCs of Your Child Nutrition Program A completed list will be given to the teacher before the field trip. Two days before the field trip, the cafeteria supervisor will call the classroom and confirm the lunch count with the teacher. A designated adult must be responsible for checking off the names as students receive their lunches. The roster must be signed by the adult and returned to the cafeteria at the conclusion of the field trip function. THE TEACHER DOES NOT HAVE TO COLLECT MONEY. ANY STUDENT WHO IS IN A PAID STATUS WILL HAVE THEIR MEAL CHARGED TO THEIR CAFETERIA ACCOUNT. Please remember that we do not want to overtly identify the free or reduced price student. Paid students may request a field trip lunch. The students eligible for free or reduced price meals should not be singled out as the only students eligible to participate. For your convenience, we have prepared a form “Student Field Trip Lunch Request” FS 253 to help determine how many students will need a field trip lunch. Please see page 2.19 of the ABCs of Your Child Nutrition Program. ALL ADULT LUNCHES MUST BE PURCHASED. NUTRITION SERVICES CANNOT PROVIDE MEALS AT NO COST TO ADULT CHAPERONS, TEACHERS, OR BUS DRIVERS. PER BOARD APPROVED MEAL PRICING, EACH SCHOOL SITE WILL BE INVOICED FOR MEALS DELIVERED AND NOT SERVED TO A STUDENT. ONLY STUDENT MEALS ARE SUBSIDIZED BY THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.

Two days prior to the trip, if the students are not picking up their lunches directly from the cafeteria, the supervisor will prepare a class roster to be checked off during the mealtime and returned after the students have eaten. The form, Meal Participant Roster (FS-118) can be used if a classroom roster is not available. Please see page 2.18 of ABCs of Your Child Nutrition Program. The completed list will be given to the teacher before the field trip. A designated adult must be responsible for checking off the names as students receive their lunches.

Lunches must be kept in a refrigerator or a Styrofoam cooler until mealtime. Let the cafeteria supervisor know if a Styrofoam cooler is needed. The site supervisor will contact the manager responsible for the school, to order a Styrofoam cooler if one is needed. Please review the Food Safety Tips for City Bus or Walking Field Trip Lunches on page 2.20 of ABCs of Your Child Nutrition Program. For food safety purposes, meals must be packed in ice and kept in Styrofoam coolers until the lunches are eaten.
