Dining Program

Sage Dining serves Upper Division students lunch daily. Students enjoy family style dining in Calvert Hall. In family style dining, students sit together at assigned tables along with a faculty member. Table assignments change every two weeks, giving students an opportunity to dine with, and get to know, their classmates and faculty members. Each day one student is assigned Head Waiter, who goes to the kitchen and brings food to the table for the group. An additional student is assigned Second Waiter, who is responsible for table clean-up at the end of the meal. These assignments rotate so that each student serves as Head Waiter and Second Waiter during the two week period. All Divisions at Casady are peanut-free.

Family style dining is a simple yet key ingredient to Casady’s dining program and reflects the School’s mission by:

• Building a sense of community by having students eat together in groups.
• Building a culture of kindness by having children sit with new students on a rotation basis throughout the year, allowing our children to learn about and respect each other’s similarities and differences.
• Allowing children to build communications skills through interaction with new students and faculty every few weeks.
• Creating a culture of service to one another through the First Waiter and Second Waiter program.
• Providing an opportunity for children to further develop table manners.

If there is an "out-to-lunch" day for a grade, advisory group, or club, it is announced in advance to the students and is on the calendar. Additionally, on certain days every month Upper Division students are given the option to eat off-campus. These "Privilege Days" are based on grade level.

Sage Dining joined the Casady family in 2012 to provide students with well-balanced, nutritious meals served family-style. The company was founded in 1990 with the goal to deliver superior food service and present an ethical, rewarding work environment for food service professionals. Sage offers a varied menu every day and always includes gluten-free and vegetarian options. Middle and Upper Division students can also select from fresh salad, soup, and sandwich bars. Lower Division students are served lunch in their classrooms each day.
