Lunch Guidelines and Procedures 

• Bring your order form to the school office before the 18 every month - no exceptions! 
• Please include a MEAL ORDER FORM and MONEY ORDER ONLY, clearly marked with CHILD'S NAME, GRADE, TEACHER'S NAME and how much to apply to lunch (if you have included other fees with your money order.) Sorry, NO CASH or CHECKS are accepted.
• ALL lunches are ordered ONE month in advance. Once orders have been placed to the caterer, we are not allowed to make any changes.
• We are unable to accommodate same day orders, same day payments, late menus or menus without payment.
• No outside vendor lunches are permitted. (ie..McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King etc..) No Sodas. 
• For the safety of the students, microwaving is prohibited.
• If there is a credit on your account, it does not automatically insure your child a hot lunch. All the above steps must be followed for us to provide your child with a lunch.
• All lunches include milk.
• FYI, if your child is eating a lunch, a MEAL ORDER FORM must be provided every month for your child.
• We do not  grant credits for lunch, unless the school was closed. If your child missed a day of school, the lunch was still ordered in advance.
• If orders are not filled out exactly as requested, they will be returned and your child will need to provide a lunch from home for the month.
• If a child forgets his/her lunch, an alternative lunch will be provided, based on the premise that you will pay your bill in the amount of $3.50. Once we have provided the student with an unpaid lunch for two consecutive days, we will have to call the parent to come and provide a lunch for his/her child.
• You are now able to place your lunch orders online. Simply click on the following link to be directed to Lunch Works: LUNCHWORKS
