What’s For Lunch?
Now students and parents can view the district’s monthly menus in one of two ways.
Parents can log on to www.schoolmenu.com. Once you log on to the site:
- Select Ohio under the state field.
- Select Toledo City Schools for the school district option.
- From there, you can then click on a particular school to find the menu options for both breakfast and lunch.
This site not only highlights the daily menu options at your student’s school, it also provides important nutritional and fitness information.
Or, you can simply download the menus:
February Elementary School Menu
February Middle/High School Menu
March Elementary School Menu
March Middle/High School Menu
Along with the daily special, students have the option to purchase an array of Ala Carte items. The daily specials are highlighted on the monthly student menu.

Special Note: Several years ago, TPS stopped using peanut products to prepare student meals, which included the discontinuation of using peanut oil to cook certain foods. This action was taken to reduce the possibility of a student with peanut allergies having an adverse reaction. All foods served to students contain no trans-fats.
