PSJA ISD CHILD NUTRITION PROGRAM (CNP) INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPECIAL DIETS

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW 

• Special Diet request will be reviewed by the Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist.
• Accommodations will be processed by the Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist utilizing Federal and State guidelines.
• The CNP staff will make every attempt to REASONABLY accommodate students that have dietary restrict ions that are not life threatening or reported by a physician as a disability.
• Special Diet Forms MUST be completed by license physician/med ical authority (physician, physician's assistant, or nurse practitioner) .
• Notes, letters, or diet instructions written on prescription pads will NOT be accepted.
• A new form must be completed each school year. Once a form is received, a staff member will contact the parent/guardian to confirm receipt.
• It can take up to 2 weeks to implement. However, at the beginning of the school year the Special Diet Forms may take longer to process and implement due to the high number of requests that we receive during this time. While the CNP is processing the Special Diet Forms, the parents of the student are responsible for providing the special diet items needed.
• It is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to notify the CNP if any changes occur or if the student transfers to another school.
• The CNP Dietitian/Nutritionist processing the request has the right to contact the medical authority to ask questions or clarify the information on the form.
• If changes/additional restrictions need to be made or if the diet orders need to be discontinued/stopped, a new form must be completed by a licensed physician/medical authority (physician, physician's assistant, or nurse practitioner) and turned into the Campus Nurse or CNP.
