At North Butler Community School District, we believe that nutritious school meals are a main ingredient in a student's ability to learn in the classroom. It's hard to focus when you are hungry. Our staff takes pride in providing meals that not only meet nutrition requirements, but taste good too!
We strictly follow rules and menu requirements set by both the USDA and State of Iowa. In 2020 we have introduced mitigation to help stop the spread of Covid.
A reimbursable meal consists of taking 3 of the offered items. One of the chosen items has to be a 1/2 Cup of a fruit or vegetable.
Milk is offered daily with breakfast and lunch. Daily milk choices include nonfat chocolate, and non-fat or 1% white.
Whole Grain Breads and Buns are utilized. All breaded products are whole grain.
If you have any questions, concerns, or comments please feel free to contact us at any time @ mailto:kim.marshall@northbutler.org We will be more than happy to assist you.
If a group is in need of using the kitchen area be sure to have a building use form filled out and returned to the principal to be approved for the times and dates needed.
Complete a building use form. If you have not completed a form, you must do so before you can use facilities.
After Approval
Either a Kitchen staff member must be present in the kitchen or a delegate from group must have met with the Head cook for a brief orientation to the kitchen equipment prior to it’s use. With the orientation, the group would be able to avoid any charge to have kitchen staff member present and the use of the district facilities would be at no charge.

If your individual or group is having items delivered to the school please make contact and advise kitchen staff so they will be expecting the delivery and mark it as such.
