The Food Service Staff wishes you and your family a happy, healthy and safe summer! Please remember that ALL ACCOUNTS must be cleared of negative balances. Any credits will be carried over to September.
NOTE: Current 8th grade students entering the high school will only be served in September if their accounts are cleared of negative balances. It is the policy of Salem High School that all food must be paid for when purchased. No charging is allowed ever.
If you have any questions about your child's account, please call the food service office at 978-740-1230.
 Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution has made it to Salem! Starting in May, our lunch menus will include several recipes created by Jamie Oliver. The Food Revolution is a wake-up call for all people to pay more attention to what we are eating, avoid foods with chemicals and preservatives, and cook real, flavorful, nutritious foods.
Since we began our retooling of the Food Service department almost two years ago, we have maintained an ongoing goal to provide more cooking from scratch, using simple, fresh ingredients. The high school in particular has increased menu options, most from scratch, with many meatless entrees. Jamie’s Food Revolution legitimizes our intentions, helping to draw attention to the need for change, while sticking to a budget.
So, check out the new menu offerings, and tell us what you think!

 Welcome !
The School Lunch Program is an integral part of the Salem Public School System. We strive to meet the needs of all the students and staff, both nutritionally and socially, by serving a nutritious breakfast and lunch of high quality in a cheerful, pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. It is our role to encourage everyone to eat a breakfast and lunch that conforms to the dietary guidelines for healthy Americans while recognizing the individual preferences of each person who participates in our program. Menus are created monthly and reflect the students’ tastes by offering the choices most popular to students. All lunches include an assortment of vegetables and fruits. A variety of milk (skim, low-fat and low-fat flavored) is offered with each meal. The monthly menu can be viewed on the Salem
Public Schools web site.
Parents are encouraged to pay for their children’s meals in advance. Credits can be carried over to the following week. A coded roster system, which prevents overt identification of meal benefits, is utilized to track meals served to students receiving free or reduced priced meals as well as those who pay full price.
If you have questions regarding the school lunch program, please call Deborah Jeffers at 978-740-1230.
