Nutrition Services
The student nutrition service in each school provides nourishing, well-balanced meals each day.
All schools use a computerized system for students to count for meals.
Since the student is required to give their name to the cashier, please have your child practice saying his or her name out loud. The student must also know their classroom number and their teacher’s name. The computer each classroom's photos' with all the children’s names and a corresponding code. Once the cashier "touch's" your child’s name, the account appears on the screen. This process is quick and efficient.

What are SUN Bucks?:
SUN Bucks, also known as Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT), is intended to help families in California buy food during the summer months when school is closed and works just like CalFresh. Children can get SUN Bucks if they qualify for free or reduced-price school meals through a school meal application or Universal Benefits Application, or if they get CalFresh, CalWORKs, and/or Medi-Cal (certified at or below 185% of the Federal Poverty Level [FPL]).
Who is eligible for SUN Bucks?:
Most children are eligible for SUN Bucks if:
- They qualify based on household size and income for free or reduced-price school meals; or
- They get CalFresh, CalWORKs, or Medi-Cal (certified at or below 185% of the Federal Poverty Level), including homeschooled children ages 6 – 18 years.
How do I get SUN Bucks?:
If your child qualifies, based on household size and income, for free or reduced-price meals, or gets CalFresh, CalWORKs, or Medi-Cal (certified at or below 185% of the Federal Poverty Level), they will automatically be enrolled in SUN Bucks. You don't need to do anything to sign up. You will get your SUN Bucks on an EBT card in the mail.
Families with children ages 0-22 who qualify for free or reduced-price meals and do not get CalFresh, CalWORKs, or Medi-Cal (certified at or below 185% of the Federal Poverty Level) can submit a school meal application or Universal Benefits Application at their child's school by August 31, 2026 to see if they qualify for SUN Bucks in 2026 based on household size and income. To check if your child is eligible, ask your child's school for a school meal application or Universal Benefits Application. You can view a template version of the Universal Benefits Application on the California Department of Education webpage.
Do not submit Universal Benefits Applications directly to the Department of Education or Department of Social Services. These forms must be processed by your child's school to establish eligibility for SUN Bucks. The UBA is available on our website to print and fill out and return to the District office or you can fill the form out online by selecting the TITAN Income Form link and the form will be processed by the school district automatically.
Intra-District Transfers
Intra-District Transfers
Your student's account may be transferred overnight from any school site within the Red Bluff Union Elementary School District, when advance notification is provided. Please inform the cashier ahead of time for processing your account.
Vista Preparatory Academy students will need to know their student code to input it at breakfast or lunch. They will be sent this number prior to the beginning of each school year. It is extremely important that they do not share this number with fellow students, as it will be charged to their account.
