A cycle menu is generally used in school settings and can help students, teachers and administrators know what type of food will be served on each day of the school year. this type of menu is easy to plan and is constantly repeated over a period of time. Many schools choose to use a cycle menu that has a variety of different foods available to students through the period of 3, 4, or 6 weeks.

School child nutrition directors will work together to develop these types of menus. As a group we will share information, recipes, and nutrient analysis.
