ORDERING

Lunch envelopes will now be sent home with each child on Monday. They are to be returned on Tuesday or Wednesday of the same week.

Please check the dates in the upper right hand corner of the envelope.
The first date is the week you are ordering for.
The second date is the DUE BACK date.
Please be sure to return all envelopes on time.

Please don’t put one envelope inside another. If you don’t have exact change put the money for both weeks inside the first envelope.
Every student must have a separate envelope. We use the envelopes each day as a ‘ticket’ for lunch.

Some children do not like every meal that we serve. Please read the menu with your child and order only the meals he/she will eat. It is sad to see a child get a lunch that they don’t like and throw the entire meal away.

If we are serving something your child doesn’t eat, please don’t order for that day.

Many families find it helpful to hang the menu on the fridge and initial the days for which lunch has been ordered.

Remember to pack a lunch on days you did not order.

An alternate lunch entrée will be offered on SOME days.

Please check the menu each week before returning your envelope.
If the menu doesn’t have an alternate listed, please don’t mark the alternate side of the envelope.

Many of you are familiar with our OOPS! Policy.
If a student forgets to bring a lunch to school on a day he/she didn’t order, a cold lunch will be provided. We cannot issue a hot lunch because we only heat enough meals for those students that have ordered for the day.
An OOPS! Note will be sent home to remind you to send in payment for that lunch.
Please return the OOPS! Note and $2.00 the following day.
This is not meant to be used as a convenience for hectic mornings when there isn’t time to pack a lunch.

Late Arrival
If a student has ordered lunch and arrives to school after 10:00 hot lunch will not be provided. Please be sure to send a lunch from home.
If the student doesn’t bring a lunch, an OOPS! lunch will be provided. No credit will be issued.

MILK
Remember:
Every envelope is to be marked with the type of milk you are ordering for the week.
We offer 1% white, 1% strawberry and 1% chocolate.
If an envelope isn’t marked, chocolate will be served for the entire week.
It is impossible for the lunch staff to remember which kind of milk each child likes.
Therefore it is the responsibility of the parent to mark the envelope when ordering.

All families are asked to submit a free/reduced lunch application. The application is now available on the NDS website: ndsarch.org. If you don’t have internet access and need a paper application please send a note to Lisa Salvo at school.
If you child/children received free/reduced lunch during the last school year (at SFA) your status remains the same until October 10, 2008.
You must submit a new application before September 12, 2008 to apply for 2008/09. If the application is not completed, full price for lunch will be charged beginning the week of October 13.
Families receiving free/reduced lunch are still required to fill out and return envelopes. If an envelope is not returned hot lunch will not be ordered for your child for that week.
You are not required to order lunch every day.

If we are serving something your child doesn’t eat, don’t order.
Remember to pack a lunch on the days you didn’t order.If you haven’t ordered and forgot to pack, your child will receive a cold lunch and an OOPS! note will be sent home. The price of an OOPS! lunch is $2.00 for all students
