Welcome to the 25/26 school year. My name is Angela Ortiz and I’m the Kitchen Manager here at NMSA. We are offering free breakfast and lunch this year. We are no longer requiring applications, because we have become a Community Eligibility Program (CEP). If your student eats seconds, there will be a charge of $5 for lunch and $3 for breakfast.
I need a Dr’s note for any food allergies, if your student is eating breakfast, lunch, or dinner(dorms). These will be kept confidential. I will provide alternatives for any allergies or preferences (ex, vegetarians). If your student brings lunch from home, please provide them with silverware to eat with. Our resources are limited to providing silverware for everyone, and I want to limit the use of plasticware.
Cafeteria hours:
Breakfast Mon-Fri 8:30-9am
Lunch Monday 12-12:45pm
Tues-Fri 12-12:40pm
Please review Lunch/Breakfast etiquette with students:
- Lunch and breakfast are to be eaten in the cafeteria, the paseo, or courtyard only.
- Clean messes in the microwave with sanitation bucket and rags.
- Don’t break the silverware. This is property destruction and will not be tolerated.
- To reduce food waste, we have a Share Fridge. Any uneaten packaged food or milk can go into that fridge, to be eaten later or for another student. If cold food is brought from home, we can hold it in the kitchen.
Thank you,
Angela Ortiz, Kitchen Manager
