A healthy, well balanced meal is necessary for optimal performance. There is an art to providing meals that appeal to students but also make parents happy. We believe we’ve met the challenge.
BIA meals follow state and federal child nutrition guidelines and take the burden of food off of parents and families. Our breakfast and lunch are delivered or prepared on site daily by a third party so that food is always fresh, never microwaved.
Lunches at BIA
BIA students have the option of bringing a lunch from home (BIA is a nut-free school, so no nuts please) or obtaining a lunch from our onsite lunch partner, Nourish School Nutrition Services. Due to staff, safety, and Federal guidelines food deliveries for student lunches are prohibited.
BIA is pleased to announce that will be using Nourish School Nutrition Services as our food service provider, preparing and serving both lunch and breakfast on site. Nourish was created to focus resources on providing popular and healthy meals that exceed expectations and result in increased student participation. Nourish’ management team has over 20 years of culinary and food service experience. Nourish School Nutritional Services is committed to the education of healthier minds, bodies, and spirits using their knowledge, culinary expertise, and advanced technology. Nourish believes nutrition education is as important as the food they serve. Their programs are designed to educate students and their parents on making wise, healthy menu choices.
View menus and order student meals directly from Nourish through Meal Manage. Download the App for Android or Apple for easy ordering and payment throughout the school year.
