The school's cafeteria is open every day, serving hot and cold lunches to students in grades 1 through 5. The Needham School Department has developed a school lunch program that serves varied, nutritionally sound meals that appeal to many students. Additional information and applications are available from the Principal.
Classes eat together, with the younger grades served earlier in the day.
A food allergy can be a very serious problem for a child, especially a young child, when in school. Foods that may be commonplace for most children can make an allergic child deathly ill. We ask that you keep these steps in mind if your child has an allergy, or if you are sending food into school. Parents should notify the classroom teacher and the school nurse of their child's allergy, i.e., what he or she is allergic to and how severe that reaction is. Parents may schedule an appointment with the nurse to discuss this.
