Back-to-School 2025: School nutrition in Gwinnett schools for 2025-26

     Gwinnett County Public Schools’ (GCPS) award-winning School Nutrition Program (SNP) provides tasty, nutritious meals to students at an economical price. GCPS cafeterias serve many of the brands families use at home, including Tyson, General Mills, Kellogg’s, and Land O’ Lakes, to name a few. In addition, students are served a variety of fruits and vegetables through Gwinnett’s Farm to School program, which has been in place since the 2010-11 school year. 

     In all, 135 school cafeterias will offer breakfast and lunch daily. Students and parents can check out menus using an app—search for “NutriSlice” on Google Play or the App Store—or find menus online at https://gwinnett.nutrislice.com/menus-eula.
