Lunches
The Hot Lunch Program provided through the PO is an optional service to students and families consisting of catered food delivered by fast food and restaurant vendors. There is a small one-time fee to register a family account for students who wish to participate and this account must be set up for ordering at least two weeks before receiving lunches. (The only exception is when school resumes in August; at that time parents must sign up and complete an order before the first full week of classes to ensure that their student(s) will begin receiving lunches the first week they’re offered in August.) Once registered, students may order as many or few times as they like; there is no minimum purchase involved, however any order less than $10 will incur a $1 processing fee.
Meals are served by parent volunteers during specific lunch periods for middle school (6th/7th/8th at 11:25am) and high school (9th/10th/11th/12th at 12:25pm). Orders are taken in advance online and must be prepaid. Students choose the days and menu items they prefer from the electronic order form. Orders may be changed or deleted directly by students up to two weeks before a particular day’s lunches. Depending on the edits made to an order, credits may be applied to the account (good for future orders) or additional payment may be required immediately upon the order change. Orders are not considered valid until payment is made.
The Lunch Program page will feature a link to the online order system (www.orderlunches.com) that hosts each family’s account. This account can be accessed at any time to place a new order, update an existing order, or check account status. Families are required to use the online form in submitting orders. For those without internet access or who experience difficulty with electronic ordering on their own systems, the school has computers which may be used to complete an order. Check in with the front desk for access.
A limited quantity of extra food is sometimes available for sale, however there is no guarantee of extras and everything is sold on a first-come first-served basis after all prepaid meals are distributed.
