New School Menu Platform Coming September 1! WHSD is moving to a new menu platform, which means the Nutrislice app will no longer work beginning September 1. Look for Web Menus by iSite Software in the Apple App Store or Web Menus for School Nutrition on Google Play. The new platform makes it easy to view nutrition facts, filter by allergens, translate menus into your preferred language, and more! You can also continue to access all school menus on the WHSD website: www.whitehallsd.org.
