Welcome to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School Food & Nutrition Services
Our department operates on the National School Lunch Program. This program plays a key role in supporting the nutrition and health of school children in the United States by providing nutrionally balanced, low-cost or free meals each school day.

How do we place our order?

Each month an order form goes home using Google Forms. Typically, it is due by the 15th of the month prior.

• Families will have to complete a form for each of their children.
• Menus are available on this page. They are also emailed out each month. 
• Orders must be in by the assigned due date. 
• A student must have signed up in advance in order to receive a lunch.  

How do we pay for lunches?

Families will receive a monthly TADS charge on the 15th of the month reflecting lunch purchases for the month prior. For example: On October 15th, a TADS charge will be deducted for all lunches/milk purchases for the
month of September. The only exception to this rule is the month of June where the final lunch charge of the school year will be taken out on June 15th.

Unpaid Lunch Balances:
Generally, there will be a TADS late charge associated with unpaid charges. However, students will continue to receive a complete lunch if ordered. 


Beginning September 2022, school lunches are no longer free. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA0 are requiring families to be charged based off eligibility. Familities can fill out an Application for Eduational Benefits (Free and Reduced- priced meals) application and if you qualify, your student (s) will be able to eat both breakfast and lunch for free. You can pick up a paper application in our school office or click on the link above on this page:
