Cincinnati Public Schools menus have gone digital. You can easily view information about what is on our school menus for breakfast and lunch each day. This new innovative and interactive site, and our mobile app, make our school menus more convenient and informative.

Introducing SchoolCafe, an interactive online way to view your child’s school menus.

School Year Menus, along with nutrition information, specific food allergens, and carbohydrate counts, are available online and via mobile app on a smartphone. 

As school foodservice programs are making preparations to return to normal service and menus, we are facing unprecedented issues with the supply chain that will undoubtedly cause us to alter our posted menus with little to no notice.

We are working very closely with our distributors and manufacturers to secure both the food and supply items needed to support our program. However, the availability of these items has been changing on a daily basis.

While it is our intention to serve the posted menu every day at every school, supply issues will not make this possible throughout this school year until the supply chain issues are rectified.

When changes to the posted school menu become necessary, we will attempt to substitute the scheduled menu item with another that is as similar as possible, to the extent we are able to do so, based on the products we are able to receive.

Paid meals are $1.75 at elementary schools and $2.00 at secondary schools.

Cincinnati Public Schools believes it is our responsibility to serve students with respect and dignity. CPS is aware of cultures and religions that observe customs related to diet, and we know that some students have sensitivities to certain food products.
