Cook- Part Time

Job Description

Many of us remember the good old days when meals were made from scratch in the school cafeterias. The goal of the Garfield Re-2 Nutrition Services staff is to return to the scratch cooking of years passed, and rid our meals of the highly processed foods of today.

Our department motto is “Food for Fuel”. It is the core value of everything we do. Students have a more difficult time learning when they are hungry, so at Garfield Re 2 School Districts Nutrition Department we support student achievement by offering healthy, great tasting meals everyday (approximately 1700 meals are served per school day at ten different school locations). We also promote overall wellness through our breakfast programs.

SUMMARY: Responsible for working effectively with a team with the purpose of providing quality food services for each and every student, each and every day without exception. Duties may vary according to job assignment.
