Menu Information
Gluten-free/Allergen meals will be offered only to families that preorder them in advance and who have completed the Special Dietary Needs form. We are able to make most menu items gluten-free with a one-week advance notice which can be given by email: smeak@eagleridgeacademy.org.
All meals are pork-free. Vegetarian meals are offered to all students this year. Vegetarian menu items will have a (V) behind the item. Some of the regular menu items can be made vegetarian, an example would be (Beefy Nachos with Cheese Sauce (V)) This just means that this item will be offered with beans instead of beef for vegetarians.
On March 17, 2023, Governor Walz signed the Free School Meals bill into law, taking effect in the 2023-2024 school year. Each student in attendance will receive one reimbursable breakfast and one reimbursable lunch per day at no cost to the child. Additional meals and à la carte items can be purchased at the rates listed below:
- Second Breakfast $2.25
- Second Lunch grades K-12 $4.95
- Milk or Juice $.50 (Milk to accompany a home lunch is not included in the Free School Meals bill but will be served with a reimbursable school meal at no cost to the student.)
- Adult Breakfast $2.25
- Adult Lunch $4.95

Frequently Asked Questions
- What happens if my child forgets his or her lunch?
Forgotten lunches (K-5) may be dropped off in the Activities/Health Office. Parents must label the lunch. The lunch will be placed on a cart which will be located directly outside of the Activities/Health Office. A classroom EA or Lunchroom Monitor will collect the lunches as needed. Note: a school lunch will always be provided for any student if they forget their lunch and one is not dropped off at the Activities/Health Office in time. The appropriate fee will be charged to the student’s Infinite Campus account.
- What if my child has a food allergy?
Please complete the Special Dietary Needs form and return it to school.
- Do I qualify for Free and Reduced Meals?
Please complete and send in the Application for Educational Benefits packet. More information about Free and Reduced Meals can be found on page 3 of this document.
- Where can I find nutritional information (carbs, etc.) for school lunches?
Please consult these documents: Breakfast Nutrition and Lunch Nutrition. We highly recommend you do not print these documents. There are several pages of information which may change frequently. We want to ensure users are getting the most accurate information. The links are live so when an adjustment is made, it immediately rolls over to the links. To search for specific information, use the Find function on your computer. To do this, press and hold the ctrl key and then press the F key. This opens the find on page function. A search bar or window will open at the top of the web browser. Enter your keyword to find the menu item you are looking for. Clink the forward arrow to move from one item to the next. (Example: To search for chicken quesadilla, type quesadilla and all the quesadillas will be highlighted. Don’t search chicken as there are over 100 chicken recipes.)
