The Bettendorf Nutrition Team has openings for the 2025-2026 school year. School nutrition isn’t just about the food and putting it on trays for kids. Children have a better chance of being prepared for their lessons and tests when they have regular access to meals. And you can be part of getting that nourishment to them. Discover your role in helping students succeed.
