     Rsd-13 has extended the Seamless Summer Option for the National School Lunch Programs. The district will be serving free breakfast & lunch on a daily basis to all of their students through December 31st, 2020 or until the USDA funds run out. Students will receive a jump start breakfast package for the following day's breakfast when they receive their lunch.
Students will NOT be required to place orders on line. They will be asked by their homeroom or advisory teacher what their lunch preference is for the day and the lunch count will be forwarded to the cafeteria.
**IMPORTANT** Rsd-13 Distance Learning day (Wednesday) lunch ordering procedure.
We are asking that any order for Wednesday pick up needs to be placed on Tuesday by noon.
Meals will be ready for pick up on Wednesday from 11:00-11:30 am at your school.

Health & Nutrition News:
Milk Substitutions for Children with Medical or Special Dietary Needs
If your child is lactose intolerant and would like the district to allow your child to substitute their lunch beverage choice for an approved milk substitute, you will need to provide a note from your physician acknowledging this disability. The district does not offer milk substitutions for non-disability students or for students whose culture, religion or ethical beliefs preclude the consumption of cow’s milk. For those students with a recognized disability who cannot consume cow’s milk, the school will omit or substitute fluid milk based on the written statement from a licensed physician. The written request from the medical authority must identify the student’s medical or other special dietary need that precludes the consumption of cow’s milk. No other information is required.
ALLOWABLE FLUID MILK SUBSTITUTES
JUICE AND WATER SUBSTITUTES
Juice and water cannot be offered as milk substitutes for nondisabled children at any time. If a school district chooses to make milk substitutions available, they must include either low-fat (1%) or less lactose-free or lactose-reduced milk or a nondairy beverage that meets the USDA nutrition standards for milk substitutes. Lactose-free or lactose-reduced milk (low-fat (1%) or less) and nondairy beverages are the only two options that are allowed for milk substitutions in the USDA school nutrition programs.
