Lunch Program Guidelines

Welcome to our Lunch Program! We are excited to partner with your school to bring you hot lunches daily!

Here are some general guidelines to help you navigate lunching with ease:

• Create a FoodDays account for your family and begin ordering lunches for your children weekly or for the entire month.
  • *** Don't forget to include to the Student Id when you add your children ***
• Orders for the following week need to be placed midnight two days before the serve date - This timeline is crucial to our planning of supplies.
• You will be able to track your order history and easily reorder your favorites.
• You have the flexibility to pay for lunches at the time the order is placed or to preload payment and replenish as needed.
• There are no refunds for absences, but you may coordinate same-day pick up of your lunch. School must be notified by 10:00 am and picked up by end of school day. We hold lunches in the Cafe until 2:30pm on Friday of the same week.
• Credits will be issued for closures with sufficient notice, including snow days.
• If you wish to cancel or modify an order, you may do so online within the ordering period.
• Credits will be managed by FoodDays and will be applied directly to your FoodDays account. Credits for School Closures will be applied automatically.
• You can order for multiple students within the same order and transaction.
• A portion of the proceeds are donated back to your school.

 

How It Works

We've partnered with FoodDays to make ordering school lunch easy!

You will receive an email each time an ordering period launches.

You may place or adjust your order up until the cutoff which is midnight two-days ahead of time.

You can pay as you go with credit/debit card or your bank account if you pre-load with the required funds to cover your future order and top up as necessary.

Once you've chosen your items for all of your children you can go to the checkout to complete your order - it's that easy!

You can go on the system anytime to see what you ordered, you can print the orders, download them to your calendar or bookmark your personal "Show Future Orders" link so that you can see what's coming up without logging in - ideal for adding to the home screen of your children's devices.

 

Get Started

To order on FoodDays you'll first need to sign up, add children to your account and then place orders. Remember that you can go back and change your order anytime up until the weekly deadline.

Ordering

You’ll see a list of your children with the available ordering options for each child, grouped by new, current or past.

Remember to click Checkout when you have finished ordering to save your order. You can place an order for each child before completing checkout.

This is what the order form looks like:

As you order for each day, the calendar days will change from Red to Green to signal that you have an order on the day. 

Note: For favorite items, click "Copy these choices to every..." Under each item, you'll see future days turn green as your choices are copied.
