Welcome Back to School!
We’re excited to serve you another year of delicious, nutritious meals made with care. This year, you’ll see even more Farm to School favorites on the menu—fresh, local fruits and vegetables, milk, wholesome grains, and recipes made from scratch right in our kitchens.
Our goal is simple: healthy meals that fuel your day and taste amazing! Whether it’s a crisp apple from a nearby orchard, fresh salad greens from local growers, or scratch-made sauces and breads, we’re bringing the best of our community to your tray.
Here’s to a school year full of great food, good health, and happy moments around the table. We can’t wait to serve you!
Common Questions
Minnesota Free School Meals Program: We are pleased to inform you that Minnesota will continue the Free School Meals Program this year. This program ensures that all students have access to free breakfast and lunch. Here’s what you need to know:
Our school district is a Offer vs Serve::
Breakfast: The student must choose at least 3 items to be counted as a reimbursable meal. The student must include a ½ cup serving of fruit or vegetable as part of their breakfast.
Lunch: The student must choose at least 3 components to be counted as a reimbursable meal. The student must include a ½ cup serving of fruit or vegetable as part of their lunch.
However, it’s important to note what is NOT included in the MN Free School Meals Program:
Single item purchases and non-reimbursable meals are not free. Some examples include:
Carton of milk
Snack items
Second entrée
A second breakfast or a second lunch
Meals that do not meet the minimum requirements
Meals served to teachers, staff, and other adults
Online Menus and Payment Options: To make meal planning easier for everyone, our menus went online last spring. You can view them at SchoolCafé. This platform will provide detailed information about our daily offerings, including nutritional content and allergen information.
Additionally, managing lunch accounts has never been simpler. Parents can set up lunch account balance notifications, automatic payments, and/or deposit funds through SchoolPay. This ensures that your child's account is always funded, eliminating any concerns about payments for extras.
We are dedicated to providing delicious, nutritious meals that fuel our students' success. If you have any questions or need assistance with our services, please do not hesitate to reach out to our nutrition office.
Here's to a healthy and successful school year!
