STGRSD School Nutrition Student/Family Meal Program Survey
The School Nutrition Department welcomes your feedback! Please help us improve our program by completing a brief survey about school breakfast and lunch. Thank you for your input!

View Our School Lunch Menus
We offer a variety of kid-friendly options that meet USDA nutrition guidelines. All meals are served with fruits, vegetables, and milk. We are proud to support local farmers and producers through our participation in the Massachusetts Farm to School Harvest of the Month Program. Alternate menu options are available daily in addition to the main menu choice.

Wellness Policy and Procedures
The district wellness policy can be found on the Health Services Department page. 


School Meal Pricing & Payment Procedures
All STGRSD students can eat FREE breakfast and lunch at school every day.
If students wish to purchase a second breakfast or lunch, or purchase milk as an a la carte item, the pricing is as follows:

Second Breakfast: $2.50
Second Lunch: $4.25
A la Carte Milk: $0.50


The STGRSD School Nutrition Department currently uses a platform called SchoolCafé to accept online payments for second meals and a la carte items. To check your student's account balance or to add funds with a credit card, please visit schoolcafe.com. Funds can also be added by cash or check. Please make checks payable to STGRSD School Nutrition. Be sure to include your child's first and last name in the memo of the check. Checks can be mailed or delivered to the school office. If you would like to transfer an account balance between two students in the same household, you can do that through the SchoolCafé portal. If you would like a refund of the account balance, please contact our office.

All students have a PIN number for tracking and meal counting purposes in our POS system. Students will need to enter their PIN numbers at check-out when they receive free meals or if they purchase additional items. PIN numbers will stay the same for the duration of a student's time with the district. School staff will be provided with PIN information at the start of each school year. We would appreciate it if parents/guardians could help their young students memorize their numbers. Thank you!
