Food Focus

Student Success and Well Being

We share our knowledge of the life-enhancing benefits of good nutrition with students, our families and our communities.

In order to make good decisions about the foods they eat, we believe that students need two things: healthy options and the insight to choose wisely.

Sustainability

Chartwells is committed to the environment and sustainability initiatives that enrich our student’s lives, and our communities. We:

  • Champion local farmers and fair trade.
  • Reduce the use of antibiotics in chicken.
  • Promote farm animal welfare through the use of cage-free shell eggs as a customized solution for interested districts.
  • Use dairies for milk and yogurt that do not treat cows with growth hormone.
  • Choose vendors that have established standards regarding the humane treatment of animals.
  • Commit to healthier oceans with sustainable seafood purchasing policies.
  • Promote locally grown produce and support local farms for Chartwells partner school districts

USDA regulations and South Whidbey school district policy allow the following alternative to milk to be served:

  1. Pacific Natural Ultra Soy Milk, Vanilla, a USDA-approved soy milk, for children who are allergic to cow’s milk or when cultural, religious, or ethical reasons eliminate cow’s milk consumption.

Please NOTE: The USDA does not allow water or juice as milk substitutions. We are therefore unable to serve them in place of milk, even if a physician’s order is provided.

To make arrangements for your child to be served one of our available milk substitutions, please send a written request to your child’s school nurse. The written request should include:

  1. Your child’s name, grade, and teacher;
  2. Which product you would like your child to receive (soy milk); and
  3. A parent or guardian’s signature
