Due to the variety of food prepared in Bear Creek’s kitchens, The Bear Creek School is unable to provide detailed ingredient lists for those prepared menu items. Students with food allergies are advised to bring lunch from home and/or only purchase packaged items that include an ingredient list. See the Family Handbook for additional information.

The goal of any kitchen should be to please its customers. We, the staff of The Bear Creek School Food Services program, make food quality our first goal. We also want to engage students with creative dishes and theme-based meals. Finally, we want parents to rest assured that we are dedicated to providing nutritious and delicious food on a daily basis.

We provide gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian alternatives on the daily menu. All-natural meats are served in the deli/bistro bar.

The kitchen will continue to follow all recommended COVID-19 food preparation guidelines and utilize the new sanitizing system and cleaning and safety protocols put in place in 2021.

Lunch service is available each school day at Redmond Campus. Additionally, breakfast is served from 7:45 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. on regular school days. Later in the morning, we are open for Middle School and Upper School students to purchase items during their morning breaks. Whenever possible, we try to keep our doors open for students to purchase snacks throughout the school day.
