Dear Parent/Guardian:

If your child needs a Diet Order or Milk Substitution to modify his/her school meals during the school year a new diet order needs to be completed and signed by a physician. CCS has transitioned to requiring any Diet Orders to be submitted on an annual basis. This means that all Diet Orders will expire at the end of the current school year. Last year’s Diet Orders have been removed and all alerts have been removed from the system.

Please note, these forms are only required if you need a medical modification to a school meal. If your student no longer needs a modification, you do not need to submit anything. We are unable to modify school meals to accommodate preferences.

Milk: no child is required to take milk, so you do not need to submit a Diet Order if you do not want your child to receive milk to drink unless you would like for us to withhold it.

If you no longer need a Diet Order or Milk Substitution, you do not need to do anything. The current order will automatically be removed on October 9, 2019.

If you have questions, please contact:
