Download/view the lunch menu for May 2009.

Lunch menus are published monthly and sent home in the school Parent Pack. Hot lunches are served each day in the school cafeteria. Lunch is $2.00 per day. Parents are encouraged to purchase meals ahead of time through the Meal Tracker system.

Students should bring their lunch money/check to school in a sealed envelope with the student’s name and homeroom on the outside. Make checks payable to Holy Rosary Cafeteria.

If a student forgets lunch or milk money, the student will still be allowed to eat the school lunch and the Meal Tracker system will charge a meal to the student’s account. Parents will be informed when they are out of money or when the family has an IOU. All IOU’s are expected to be repaid as quickly as possible. Delinquent cafeteria accounts cause difficulty in the cash flow and must be repaid. If a family incurs financial difficulty, please contact the school or cafeteria immediately to request a Reduced/Free Lunch (Reduced/Free Lunch Program below) application or to arrange alternate payment plans.

Reduced/Free Lunch Program
Children from families whose income is at or below the levels listed on the annual eligibility scale are eligible for free or reduced price lunch through the Federal School Lunch Program. The application forms are provided for every school family in the back-to-school meeting folder prior to the beginning of each school year.

Schools are far more responsible for wellness/health education issues for students during the hours they are in school than in the past. To that end, Holy Rosary Catholic School in participating in the diocesan Wellness Policy will implement the following in the best interests of its students:

• Students may buy school lunch or bring lunch from home. Bringing lunch in from a restaurant will not be allowed.
• Parents are welcome to eat lunch with their students at school. In order for your visit to be least disruptive, please plan to eat at your child’s table or you and your child(ren) may eat at another table if there is no room.
• Students will not be allowed to purchase sodas during the school day nor will they be allowed to bring them from home. Parents who visit their children at school for lunch will not be allowed to bring sodas in for the children. Exceptions allowed only for field trips and field day.
• Students in K-4 may bring in a morning snack. Snacks must be healthy choices. Do not send candy, cake, cookies, etc.
• A helpful guide for parents will be provided at the start of the school year to help facilitate compliance with the Wellness Program. The guide will also be available through the classroom contact parent and the school office.
