Lunch orders due by noon Tuesday for the following week

University School of Nashville’s cafeteria operator SAGE Dining Services now offers the option to pre-order boxed lunches through MyKidsSpending.com. Please bookmark this website to order lunches by noon Tuesday for the following week. This advanced notice is to allow SAGE time to order from its vendors.
Parents, guardians, faculty, and staff should have received a personalized email on Wednesday, October 14 with a login ID and a temporary password for MyKidsSpending.com. After setting up your account, you can order by logging in and selecting ORDER MEALS. Select your meals for the week, review, and submit. Kindergartners may order school lunches for Wednesdays only.

Before making selections, please refer to the weekly menu for allergen and ingredients. Download the Touch of SAGE app for easy access to menu and nutritional information. The weekly menu will include five options each school day:
  1. salad with meat
  2. sandwich with meat
  3. vegetarian meal (salad or sandwich)
  4. allergen-free meal (made without gluten, dairy, milk, peanuts, tree nuts)
  5. sunbutter and jelly sandwich (with butter made from sunflower seeds)
Each meal includes a fruit, a dessert, and a rotating side (such as vegetables and hummus or chips) as well as salad dressings, condiments, and cutlery as needed. The breakeven price per meal is $7 for LS students and $7.50 for MS & HS students. In addition to the cost of individual disposable packaging, SAGE and USN are committed to the school’s sustainability efforts and using packaging that is either made from renewable sources or compostable. We will not raise the boxed lunch price this school year and will lower it as market prices permit.

Families will be billed monthly in arrears through University School of Nashville’s tuition and fees billing system. Please email questions about charges to studentbilling@usn.org.

SAGE is unable to provide beverages or milk at this time. Reusable water bottles may be filled at hydration stations throughout the building. Drinking fountains are closed.
