Welcome to the Analy  Food  Court  and Food Service Department

NEW FOR 2012 AT THE ANALY FOOD COURT!

FRESH DAILY SALAD BAR – The New Year and the new semester are bringing exciting changes to theAnaly Food Court.  The daily lunch menu will now include a serve yourself salad bar.  The salad bar is available for full meals deals, or for side salads to accompany main entrees.

SNACK BAR REOPENS – Use of the Analy Food Court (opened in August 2010) has been successful – so successful that students are now experiencing lines and crowding. Students suggested that we reopen the Snack Bar in the main cafeteria to shorten the lines and ease crowding at theAnaly Food Court, and we listened.

Full meal deals will be available in theAnaly Food Court beginning January 9, 2012, with select “Grab and Go” meal deals offered daily out of the Snack Bar. Grab and Go meals will include pizza, spicy chicken and deli sandwiches.  A variety of healthy beverages and snacks will still be sold individually a la carte in the Snack Bar.

ALL ENTREES NOW PART OF FULL MEAL DEALS – To encourage students to eat a healthy, balanced meal, all brunch and lunch main entrees will now be sold as part of the full meal deal at the Analy Food Court, and no longer  individually.  Full meals are a great deal!  Students can choose the salad bar as their meal, or have an entrée and side salad.  Either way, the meal includes milk, fruit juice or fresh fruit, and a reduced fat treat.

Please Note: A complimentary self service ice water dispenser is now available in the cafeteria.  Therefore, bottled water will no longer be included with the meal.

NEW CHARGE POLICY: Charging up to $10.00 will continue to be allowed for purchase of full meal deals.  Beginning January 9, 2012, students will no longer be able to charge snack or a la carte items.

                       What’s Mr. Casey’s Eco Action Class Cooking Up Now?
                                Look for Homemade Lasagna on Feb. 1
Mr. Casey’s Eco Action students will be back in the cafeteria kitchen again soon.  Ten students will be working with local farmer Milo Mitchell from Three Leaf Farms using locally grown vegetables to create homemade lasagna for the Analy Food Court. They have already created fabulous veggie pizzas and Zucchini Muffins.

Each student earned California State Food Handler’s Certification in Dec. 2011 so that they could continue to prepare food for Analy students.  

Don’t miss out on the yummy lasagna available Feb. 1 at lunch!

In the event a student forgets, loses, or does not have money for brunch or lunch, they are allowed to charge on their student meal account.  The maximum permitted to be charged by a student is $10.00 for complete meals only. As of January 9, 2012, students may no longer charge a la carte or snack items. All past due amounts must be paid in full by the end of each semester.

Parents can easily set up and check their student’s meal account online for past due amounts at www.mynutrikids.com.  Or, for student meal account status, call Gayle Dyer or Tommie Milleman at 707-824-2338.

Payments to meal accounts can be made online at www.mynutrikids.com, or at the school cafeteria by cash or check.

During the semester, cashiers will remind students that they have money due on their accounts. If these amounts aren’t paid by the end of each semester, students will no longer be allowed to charge, and past due amounts will be placed on the student’s school account.  Students will then be contacted by Analy High School for payment.

If you do not wish for your child to be allowed to charge food at the cafeteria, please contact or call Gayle Dyer or Tommie Milleman at 707-824-2338. A pop up note will be placed on their meal account. This note will appear on the computer screen when your student goes through the cafeteria line and they will not be permitted to charge.
