New World Educational Center participates in the School Nutrition Program, we are required to serve breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and milk that meet meal pattern requirements. NWEC has the option to make meal substitutions for those who have requested this for reasons such as religious or moral convictions or personal preference as long as the meal pattern requirements can still be met.  However, NWEC is required to make meal substitutions for children with a disability that restricts their diet if a written medical statement from a State licensed healthcare provider is received.  If these meal substitutions cannot be accomplished within the meal pattern, meal substitutions can only be made by NWEC once they have received a written statement from a State licensed healthcare professional who is authorized to write medical prescriptions.

 

The medical form contains two parts: Part 1 and Part 2.

     Part 1 is to be completed by the parent/guardian of the student needing the special dietary accommodation.

     Part 2 is to be completed by the state licensed healthcare professional.
