New State Funding for School Meals
Our school offers healthy meals each day. Starting school year 2023-24, we are joining Minnesota’s Free School Meals Program. All students can get one breakfast and one lunch free of charge each day at school. Although for the State of MN no application is required to receive this free meal benefit, filling out the Application for Educational Benefits is still important!
Free & Reduced Lunch Program
Saint Agnes is still requiring applications for the free/reduced meals. This allows Saint Agnes to still apply for grants and scholarships that are based on the percentage of free/reduced students (based on federal qualified applications) attending. It also allows us to receive the federal funds for the school meals. The new state funding will cover the difference. There are several other education benefits to Saint Agnes based on the number of approved applications. There are several fees (such as some testing fees) which are waived for qualifying students. Saint Agnes relies on the several hundred thousand we receive annually from the need-based grants & scholarships, this helps us keep the tuition as low as possible for everyone.
The new State funding covers the regular school meal, which includes a single serving of the regular meal with the salad bar and one milk. Extra entrée’s, extra milk or milk with lunch from home will remain the responsibility of the parents. Students will still be using their pin numbers as they move through the lunch line.
Households which don’t qualify for the federal free/reduced program do not need to do anything, they will be set up for the State free meal program.
Who should complete this application? Children in households participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR), and foster, homeless, migrant and runaway children qualify without reporting household income. Alternatively, children can qualify if their household income is within the maximum income shown for their household size on the instructions.

Depositing Funds to Cafeteria Accounts
Using your household Educate by TADS log-in, you will see your student’s cafeteria account information, including the amount purchased each day per child. You may deposit funds to your household cafeteria account here; this payment screen has banking level security. You may set up one-time or recurring transactions. Deposits made by check or cash may be directed to the Main Office. Generally, deposits will be recorded within 24-48 hours. We recommend that families keep at least a $10.00 positive balance in their account. As an extra service, an automated weekly reminder email will be sent to households with a negative account balance. In your Educate profile preferences, set Financial Alerts to email to get these reminder emails.
In-House Food Preparation
We have in-house food preparation for most meals, (pizza by Dominos). Mrs. Kelly DiPietro is our Food Service Manager. She is planning some wonderful changes to our menu. Please encourage your children to sample something new.
We are always in need of adult volunteers to help serve the meals. Contact Mrs. Becca DeMarais to sign up. If you can help daily, weekly or monthly it would be appreciated. Two to four volunteers are needed every day depending on the menu.
The Process
Practically speaking, when students go through the cafeteria line they will need to enter a PIN number - no money is exchanged. These student-specific numbers are accessible when you login to Educate by TADS. They will also be made available to students on the first day of school for those who might forget, and for our younger students. For those returning to Saint Agnes the 5 digit numbers are the same as last year. Milk with lunch from home, students need to write (legibly) their name (First & Last) and pin number on the tablet provided on the milk table.
Federal Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act
We are following the guidelines for the program. All grains are now whole grain and sodium has been reduced. We’re excited to have new items on the menu this year. Please encourage your children to sample something new.
After School Care
K-6 students that have not been picked up by 3:05 PM, except for those students involved in after-school sports and other pre-approved activities, will be charged a fee of $0.12 per minute per student between 3:05 PM and 5:00 PM

K-6 Uniform Closet
We are in need of more shoes and belts for our K-6 grade uniform closet.

Do you have any gently used uniform shoes or belts that your child has outgrown? These items can be placed in the uniform cabinet by Mr. Adkins’ office along with borrowed belts and shoes that have not been returned yet. Thank you! Questions? Contact Rose Coleman.
