Our Mission
At the Nutrition Services Department, we are committed to providing students with nourishing, appetizing, and healthy food choices that promote both physical and mental well-being. With integrity, passion, and care, we strive to offer efficient and friendly service in a clean, safe and welcoming environment. We are dedicated to ensuring no child is ever hungry, fostering growth and success though teamwork, proactive communication, and a positive attitude. With respect for each individual, we empower students to make healthy, informed choices that support their happiness, academic success, and overall greatness.
Community Eligibility Provision
Did you know that every child receives breakfast and lunch at no cost to their families in Texas City ISD? This is possible through the Community Eligibility Provision. Schools qualifying to operate the CEP serve breakfast and lunch to all children at no charge and eliminate the collection of meal applications for free, reduced-price, and paid student meals. This new approach reduces burdens for both families and school administrators and helps ensure that students receive nutritious meals.
Nourishing Young Learners Every Day Through the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)
At Calvin Vincent Early Childhood Center, we believe that healthy children are better learners. That’s why our school proudly participates in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) — a federally funded USDA program that helps us provide nutritious meals and snacks to all enrolled students every day.
Through CACFP, Calvin Vincent ensures that children:
-
Receive balanced, healthy snacks that meet USDA nutrition standards.
-
Enjoy foods from a variety of food groups:
milk, fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins.
-
Develop healthy eating habits from an early age.
-
Have access to meals that support growth, focus, and learning throughout the school day.
