Special Diet Request

Regulations allow for food substitutions in the National School Lunch Program if a student is unable to consume required food components due to the student having a: Medical condition or disability OR an IEP that includes the medical condition or disability.

School Way Café will only honor requests for special diets with a completed "Request for Special Diet for a Medical Condition or Disability" form. This form must be completed and signed by a licensed medical authority (physician, physician's assistant, nurse practitioner, or registered dietitian) identifying the disability and required meal accommodations.

Submit completed forms to the School Way Café Manager at your student's school or the School Way Café District Office at 3750 Olson Drive, Daytona Beach, FL 32124.

An updated form is required each school year, and when a licensed medical authority changes diet orders.

Please note: School Way Café offers a diverse menu daily to appeal to student preferences.
