Update: Instead of ordering a month out, menus are now available for ordering up to 7 days prior to the lunch date! This means that families can order on a weekly basis.
We are pleased to announce a partnership with Schoolhouse Fare to provide hot lunches at our cafeteria for the 2011-2012 school year. This program will replace our school’s existing lunch program, although milk will still be available for 25¢.
Schoolhouse Fare is a company providing popular lunch choices where ordering fun, nutritional lunches is just a few clicks away. Our collaboration with Schoolhouse Fare allows students to choose from a greater variety of food items and gives parents a convenient way to order.
This is how it works: Each day of the week, a different restaurant menu is available with a variety of choices. The ala carte menu provides you with the flexibility of ordering for as many or as few days as you choose. Your student’s pre-ordered lunch will be delivered to the school by the restaurant and each order is individually packaged and labeled with the student’s name and grade.
Please see the Schoolhouse Fare Registration Sheet for information about setting up your account. Once you have a registered account, you will receive email reminders of menu posting dates and closing dates.
