Hot Lunch Program

The Hot Lunch Program is back and running again for the 2024/2025 year. This program is a service to families with a small fundraising component to support the PAC.

Hot Lunch is currently running with two different options:

    Delivers a hot lunch to your child twice a week, on Wednesdays & Thursdays
    Billed at $7.00 per meal
    Orders need to be submitted before 6pm, on the Tuesday before.

  2. Monthly Meal Plan:
    Delivers a meal to your child every school day.
    Billed monthly, at $98.00.
    Orders for the coming month must be submitted before 6pm, on the last day of this month.
    (Example: Meal plan for October needs to be submitted before Monday Sept 30th @ 6pm)

Volunteer to help!
We need volunteers for this program to hand out the lunches to the classrooms. It is simple and takes about 20 mins. 
If you are interested in lending a hand, please sign up for a time slot or email the PAC.

We are also looking for someone who can take over the administration of this program, moving forward. If you (or more than one) have the time, email us with the subject line "Hot Lunch Program" so we can provide you with all the information.

Caveat: VSB Food Guidelines

As COVID-19 has evolved, so have the guidelines for how Hot Lunch Programs can operate throughout the school district. Your PAC Team has worked closely with the school and vendor to ensure that we meet those guidelines. However, we must be flexible and further changes to the program may be necessary from time to time. To date, those changes have been of an administrative and operational nature with no visible impact to your child or yourselves

 

Important - Reference

  • Absent on a Hot Lunch Day – Our policy for is to redistribute unclaimed lunches to students that have a need, in order to reduce waste. The exception is where families have advised the school that they will pick up the lunch (Lunches will be dated and placed in teacher’s freezer for one week prior to composting)
  • Division – When ordering your child’s lunch, please ensure you have the correct Division entered. Lunches are delivered to each classroom, based on Division numbers and then distributed to each child
  • Spare lunches - Each Hot Lunch Day, the vendor provides some additional spare lunches to cater for any little mishaps. If your child is missing their lunch or drops their lunch, please encourage them to speak to the teacher so the lunch can be replaced with what is available
  • Dietary/other Requirements – Please contact the vendor directly for specific changes or requirements to your child’s lunch order
  • Utensils - Please remember to pack utensils for your child’s lunch. We only have a limited number of spare utensils for those that forget
  • Financial Assistance - As a reminder, if you would like to participate in the Hot Lunch Program but are in need of financial assistance, please email the Vice Principal, Doug Park, at dpark@vsb.bc.ca (All request will be treated confidently)

 

We look forward to continuing the successful Hot Lunch Program in 2024/2025. If you have any questions or comments about the Hot Lunch Program, please contact the PAC via email - lordrobertsannexpac@gmail.com (indicating "Hot Lunch" as your subject).
