CHEF’S SELECTION | All students, every day! | Hot entree rotating daily.
DELI + SALAD BARS | From composed, pre-packaged salads and sandwiches to build-your-own salad and sandwich bars, our students will have an opportunity to customize sandwiches and fresh salads.
SWOOP SIDES | A station featuring tasty “extras,” including hummus, yogurt, fresh fruit, carrot sticks with ranch, and more -- varying each day!
SOUP SPOT | Students will have access to a rotating selection of house-made soups and chilis!

What to Expect During Lunch at NCCS
An Exemplary Lunch Program
NCCS partners with Flik Independent School Dining to offer an all-inclusive dining experience for students in K3 through 12th grade, at no extra charge to our families!
QUALITY + CUSTOMIZATION | Rather than being limited to one entree choice, students can customize meals from any station through a robust, multi-station, student-centric dining experience.
FOOD ALLERGIES + RESTRICTIONS | Our NCCS Dining team works diligently with our school nurses, parents, and Flik's registered dietitian to provide individual meals daily to every student with food allergies and sensitivities. Meals are created individually and served in a designated area for students with dietary restrictions.
NUTRITION | After an extensive search, NCCS selected Flik due to the company’s stellar reputation at providing scratch-based, nutrition-focused menus for schools across the nation. Professional advantages include a Flik dietitian and chef collaborating on menu design, along with a commitment to quality food sourcing, sustainability, allergy-awareness, and healthy food choices. Expect an exemplary dining program at NCCS!
