Hot Lunch Guideline

• Additional / Second Portions:

Additional portions will not be given to children unless previously ordered by their parents. We ask that you carefully review your child’s order with them, making sure that they know what you have ordered for them and if they want seconds. This way your child will not be disappointed in their lunch, or that they are not given seconds for their meal.
 

• Payments / Outstanding Balances:

Once an order is placed on-line, you can pay for their orders via credit card. You must submit your payment for monthly hot lunch orders at the time you place your order, or your order will not be processed.  “ Unpaid order will not be saved ”.
