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?

The Minnesota’s Free School Meals Program continues for the school year 2024-25. All students can get one breakfast and one lunch free of charge each day at school. Although no application is required to receive this free meal benefit, filling out the Application for Educational Benefits is still important! Your application will help the school qualify for education funds, discounts, and other meal programs. You can find the application on our website here.

For extra charges, 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.
