PK-12 students will be eligible to eat 1 free breakfast meal and 1 free lunch meal each school day.
The federal government will cover the cost of the meal for students that qualify for educational benefits (known as free/reduced price meals). The State of Minnesota will cover the cost of students that do not qualify for educational benefits (previously known as paid students).
- Families, if your household income is equal to or less than the maximum total income chart below, be sure to complete and submit the Educational Benefits Application to help Westonka capture critical state & federal educational funding.

Westonka Foodies is updating our point of sale system for school breakfasts and lunches to LINQ Connect. LINQ provides user-friendly solutions for families, including robust menu & nutrition information systems that families will appreciate.
Westonka Foodies is LIVE with our new LINQ Connect Parent Portal!
What are the biggest changes to the new point of sale system?
- LINQ School Solutions replaces RevTrak Food Service as the vendor parents will use for making school meal payments and applying online for educational benefits. Once LINQ School Solutions is LIVE for families, Skyward Family Access will no longer house food service information (balances, payments, applications, etc).
- Your student's current meal account balance and PIN #, have been transferred over to LINQ.
- Important Note: Skyward Family Access & RevTrak will still be the option families use to pay school fees
The new LINQ Connect Family Portal allows families to:
- Make online payments to your student's Westonka Foodies accounts (service fee will apply)
- Remotely monitor your student's Westonka Foodies accounts.
- Set up automatic, recurring payments.
- Set up low balance email or text alerts.
- Submit an online application for Educational Benefits...this feature is coming soon!
- Put a la carte spending limits on your student's account.
- Completing an Educational Benefit Application will be critical for school funding as well as approval for lowering school fees, activity/athletic registration discounts, etc.
Transition Timelines (estimated)
- Phase 2: Online menus & nutrition - coming soon!
