Description: New Dimensions Charter School is seeking Caterers to provide lunch and /or breakfast meals for the 2024-2025 school year. We are currently soliciting competitive proposals and wish to invite your company to submit a proposal. The attached Request for Proposal (RFP) will also serve as the official Contract once the Contract is successfully executed. The RFP/Contract provides a detailed description of our lunch and/or breakfast program and services that we require, along with Contract terms and conditions, nutrition requirements and a sample four-week cycle menu. It is important to note the Caterer is responsible for any reclaims that may result from a Federal and/or State review resulting from inadequate portion sizes, missing meal components, missing or incomplete production records, standardized recipes, or the absence of any other supporting documentation required under program regulations. Therefore, it is critical that all meals provided include all meal components in the exact portion size. In the event of a reclaim, the School Food Authority (SFA) will present an invoice to the Caterer requiring payment for disallowed meals. Please note that if the Caterer adheres to the specific terms and conditions of the Contract, there is minimal risk of a reclaim. It is the responsibility of the SFA to monitor the contract to ensure the terms and conditions are adhered to by all parties (SFA and Caterer).

New Dimensions 2023-2024 RtA
 I would like to begin by saying that my time at New Dimensions has been an absolute blessing to be a part of! All of the teachers and staff made me feel like I was part of the New Dimensions family! I fell in love with New Dimensions so much that I chose to stay there, all the way from kindergarten through eighth grade. Although, I must admit that it was really scary transferring from New Dimensions to Freedom High School. Everything was very different. Somehow I managed to make it through to my senior year of high school. I graduate this year and have been accepted to Gardner-Webb University. I plan to continue to pave my path until I reach my goal: to major in graphic design. ~Jacqueline Craig
