Grades K-8th: Hot lunch program starts Mon, Sept. 9^th.  Please order by Thurs, Sept. 5^th

Pre K lunch starts Wed, Sept. 11th (Nursery: Thurs, Sept. 12^th).  Please order by Mon, Sept. 9th.

A few basic points:

·      All food is sourced daily from local restaurants.  Restaurant info at the bottom of this letter.

·      Meals are served with a side.  Some sides are specified in the description.  Other sides may include fruit or vegetables, cheese stick, yogurt drink, salad, and vary based on availability.

·      *NEW* Water will be available if requested but we urge you to provide your child with a drink.  Water bottles may be refilled at the water fountains.  We find that many children take a sip or two and throw out the bottle of water.  Let’s try to be greener. 

·      Ordering is done monthly in advance.  If you pay online, you may use your PayPal account or pay as a guest using a credit or debit card.  You may also submit a check or cash. 

·      Credit for Snow Days and other School/Class-wide lunch cancellations (such as Field Trips) will be automatically applied and you will see the credit in your account.  At the end of the school year, unused credits will be donated to our school unless you request a refund. 

There is a one-time per child, per school year fee of $5, applied to your first order.  We hope you find the ease of using this system well worth it. 

To get started, please go to https://stedward.hotlunches.net and enter school code SEHL.  Then, set up your students.

If you would like to help with lunch duty, please email lunch@stedwardconfessor.org.  You must be Virtus trained.  The next course at St. Edward’s is on Thurs, September 5th (12:30 or 7pm) in the Holy Family Room. 

Other points:

·      In rare cases, substitutions may be necessary, including main courses.  Inclement weather and other extreme situations may force us to make last minute changes.   

·      We cannot issue refunds or credits if your child is absent from school.  You may stop in during your child’s lunch period to pick up a prepaid lunch for that day.    

·      If you need specific information about the food, including allergen information, we urge you to contact the vendors directly (info below).  We also suggest your children taste the food before placing the orders as we are not able to edit orders once they have been placed.  Advance ordering allows us to obtain the best possible prices from our vendors.

·         If you have any questions, please email lunch@stedwardconfessor.org
