Special Dietary and Nutritional Needs

SPECIAL DIETS
For students requiring diet modifications due to special dietary needs, MUSD Food Services can assist.  To properly meet the individual needs of your child, MUSD will need a doctor’s written instructions with specific details, which will be used to build your child’s breakfast and lunch choices. To help guide you and your physician in providing the necessary information to Food Services your child’s physician should complete the Diet Modification Form. To request a form, contact your school’s Cafeteria Supervisor or call 520-682-4712. Please give the form to your physician to be completed. Once the form has been completed by the physician, please submit it to the Marana Unified School District-Food Services office or to the school’s Cafeteria Supervisor. If the special diet request is related to religious or other non-medical preferences, please contact the Site Supervisor at your student’s school to discuss how we can tailor the daily choices for your child. Parents do not need to complete the Diet Modification Form in those situations.

CARBOHYDRATE COUNTS
For information related to carbohydrate information, please visit our interactive online menu for up to date nutritional information.  The online menu offers a carbohydrate list for all menu items. The list can be located in the upper right corner of the online menu and can printed.

ALLERGY INFORMATION
For information relating to allergy information, please visit our online menu for current information.  Detailed nutritional information, including allergy information,  can be viewed for each menu item by scrolling over the item name.  Above the nutrition information you will find a list of any allergens found in that food.  

The Special Diets Filter can be a quick and helpful tool in choosing diet appropriate items. It can be found in the upper right hand corner of the menu; using this tool “crosses-out” menu items that contain the selected allergen. 

For questions regarding Special Diet Needs please contact the school’s Cafeteria Supervisor or Holly Smith, Food Service Specialist at 520-682-4712.
