Free breakfast and lunch is available to all Reiche students.   Breakfast is served in the classrooms between 8:45 and 9:00 a.m. each morning.    

The breakfast and lunch menus can be found at the Portland Public Schools website:

Lunch is served in the cafeteria space for grades K-5. PreK students eat lunch in their classroom.  Note, the school will send notices home explaining when items, such as nuts, need to be kept out of the classroom.  For more information on allergies, please consult with the school nurse.

All school menus meet USDA requirements for calories, fat, protein, calcium, iron, vitamins A and D.  Calories are based upon the age group of the school while fat is limited to 30% of all calories coming from fat.  The nutrient content is reflective of what the average student selects and not what any one student chooses.  It is still very important to review meal selections with your children and work toward a balance on a weekly basis.

Students are given choices for entrees at breakfast and lunch.  Teachers take a count each morning to see who is eating lunch, not to see who wants which meal.  This way, students are free to choose any entree at mealtime.  There are choices with fruits, vegetables, and condiments.  Milk is offered with all meals - 1% white, skim, and 0.5% chocolate (lunch only).
