Summer Lunch Program

Red Wing Public Schools provide healthy meals each day during the summer starting today.

Each student may eat one breakfast and one lunch per school day free of charge at Twin Bluff Middle School and Red Wing High School.

They do encourage families to complete the Application for Educational Benefits. Qualifying families may then receive benefits such as reduced activity fees, help with education expenses and some discounts.

Please note that students who receive Medicaid or Medicare benefits are automatically enrolled. Start the process by creating your account at  www.schoolcafe.com/register.

The district also offers a la carte items for purchase. Students bringing lunch from home, for example, may purchase milk daily for 55 cents per serving.

Students are required to have a positive balance in their account to purchase a la carte items.

All schools use a computerized school lunch accounting system linked to SchoolCafe.

This allows families to deposit money into a personal account for their child. Each student is issued a four- or five-digit identification number that they will enter into a keypad when purchasing a la carte items.

The cost will automatically be deducted from the account balance.

Families can deposit money by online payment or send cash or check to the school their child attends. Checks should be written to ISD 256. Checks should also contain the student’s full name on the memo line.

The check can be written for multiple students. If doing this, please note this on the check.
