Mission Statement

To contribute to the well-being of every student by providing nutritious, appealing meals in order for each student to learn and perform at the highest level. 

Nutrition Policy

The Red Oak ISD School Nutrition Department participates in the National School Lunch Program, and the School Breakfast Program. Our team of food and nutrition professionals are dedicated to providing quality meals to students, staff, and visitors, and support learning by promoting healthy habits for lifelong nutrition and fitness practices.

All meals, snacks, and beverages sold or served by the Student Nutrition Department meet the requirements of the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act and the Smart Snacks in School policy. We encourage students to make healthy meal choices by providing access to a variety of healthy menu options, and daily choices of fresh fruits and vegetables. 

School Cafe

Red Oak ISD Student Nutrition Department offers a way to put money in your child's lunch account using School Cafe. Online deposits may be made through School Cafe. Parents are able to register for an account and view information for free. Parents are also able to view account balances or recent purchases in the school cafeteria, add money to their child's account, transfer account balances between siblings, set up low balance alerts, and view menus.
