Dear Parents & Guardians 

My name is Ryan Mirra and I am the new Director of Dining Services for the Springfield School District. I am new to Chartwells but have been part of Chartwells parent company Compass Group where I spent my tenure in corporate dining for more than 6 years. I look forward to bring some new offerings to the cafeterias and become a positive part of each students day.

Below, you will find important information regarding the Food Service Department.

National School Lunch Program applications are completed online: SchoolCafe. Parents can apply for free/reduced lunches for their children to ensure healthy nutrition and enriched learning. The application must be completed each year for renewal.

Menus are displayed on Nutrislice, providing menu descriptions, photos, and nutrition and allergy information. Download the Nutrislice App from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android) to view it on your smartphone. The Nutrislice link is located on the district website.

A computerized debit system in the cafeteria allows students to purchase meals or snacks with a PIN number. Please review and teach your child this PIN #. All students have an account that parents may put money into through SchoolCafe (https://www.schoolcafe.com) or by sending a check with their child to school. Make the check out to “Springfield SD” and put the child’s name and PIN# in the memo section. Students can still purchase items with cash. It also allows parents to view their child’s lunch account to check their balance or view what they are purchasing. Allergens can also be placed on your child’s account if needed.

Please reach out to me, Ryan Mirra, or 610-938-6023 with any questions.
 
Best Regards, 
Ryan Mirra
