Menu Search WELCOME TO THE FRIDLEY PUBLIC SCHOOLS NUTRITIONAL SERVICES WEBSITE! Welcome Back Students and Families! We are looking forward to serving your students breakfast and lunch daily. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has extended the free breakfast and lunch to all students regardless of application status. Each student is able to have one breakfast and lunch daily at no charge. If your student is interested in purchasing a single milk, a second entrée or Ala Carte items (Middle and High Schools), they must have money in their lunch account. Breakfast is provided in the classroom at the elementary schools and in the hallway at the middle school. Fridley High School students can receive breakfast before school or after 1st period from the High School Kitchen. Fridley Middle and High School students must have their lunch bar code ready to scan at the cashier station. Due to safety reasons, students cannot manually type in their bar codes and we need to keep the lines moving for our student’s safety. We are doing our best to follow the planned breakfast and lunch menus, however, we are experiencing product shortages and issues. We are not able to purchase some meal items due to manufacturing or labor issues by our manufacturers. We are experiencing the same issues as consumers are experiencing at the grocery store. Apply for Educational Benefits Remember to fill out your Application for Educational Benefits. Families of all incomes should complete this form to maximize funding for our students and schools.

Hayes and Stevenson Elementary Schools are participating in the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program this year. Students will be receiving a fresh fruit or vegetable snack every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
