Norfolk Public Schools - School Nutrition Department recognizes that need for students to plan ahead of school meals to meet their dietary needs. For example, a child with diabetes may require help tracking what he or she eats at each meal. To assist students our interactive, online menu includes general information found on the nutrition label and common food allergens.
