Dining at EDS
Dining has arrived at Episcopal Day School! Beginning with the 2026–2027 school year, EDS is partnering with FLIK Independent School Dining (FISD) to provide freshly prepared meals for students and faculty each school day.
Our newly renovated campus kitchen allows the FLIK team to prepare fresh meals on site, offering students a convenient and nutritious lunch option throughout the school year. Participation in the EDS dining program is optional. Students may bring lunch from home or purchase lunch through FLIK.
Restaurant food may not be delivered to students during the school day, either by a delivery service or by a parent. Students should bring lunch from home or participate in the EDS dining program.
Students in Preschool, Kindergarten, and at the Nature School will have their meals delivered to their classrooms each day. Families participating in the dining program will select meals each week for the following week through their MyKidsSpending account. This allows parents to choose which days their child will receive lunch and make meal selections in advance.
Students in other grades will go through the dining service line and make their selections each day.

Fresh & Flavorful
Menus are chef-inspired, thoughtfully planned, and designed with students in mind. Highlights include:
- Fresh fruits and vegetables sourced locally whenever possible

- Foods prepared without artificial colors or flavorings
- Poultry raised with restricted antibiotic use
- Milk and yogurt sourced from cows certified rBGH/rBST-free
Throughout the year, students will also have opportunities to try new foods and enjoy themed meals and special dining events.
Wellness & Nutrition
FISD takes a balanced approach to student wellness by offering nutritious options that support learning, growth, and healthy habits.
Menus are developed collaboratively by campus chefs and Registered Dietitian Nutritionists to provide meals that are both student-friendly and nourishing.
Families will also have opportunities throughout the year to connect with the dining team, provide feedback, and learn more about dining and nutrition initiatives.
