Lunch Program
May 2, 2024
All children must be registered to stay in the lunch program full or part time.
- As this is a non - profit organization run by the Parent Advisory Council, all money derived from the program is used to pay the staff's salary, and to purchase supplies for activities.
- You may provide ten postdated cheques payable to the GLENELM LUNCH PROGRAM. Fees for each month must be paid in advance with cheques dated the 1st of each month, OR we also have e-Transfer available. Monthly payments are $35 per month for one child and $30 per month for each additional child in the same family (plus a family $30 registration fee – see below).
- Upon request, alternate payment methods may be arranged.
Please note the following:
AVAILABILITY OF SPOTS WILL BE DETERMINED ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE BASIS WITH PRIORITY GIVEN TO PARENTS/CAREGIVERS WHO ARE WORKING OR ATTENDING SCHOOL FULL TIME.
- A once a year registration fee of $30 per family is due upon registration to process the registration. This will be refunded if a child is denied a space due to capacity limits.
- A $5 NSF fee will be charged for any returned payment
- A late charge of $10 will be added for any fees not paid by the 3rd of the payment month. If fees have still not been paid by 9 a. m. of the following day, the child will be suspended from the lunch program until fees have been paid. If this occurs, the parent will be responsible to make alternate arrangements for their child. For reoccurring late payments the child may be withdrawn from the program
- If your child will not be attending the lunch program on any given day, please advise the office before 9:30 a.m. on that day as all lunch program students need to be accounted for.
- If for any reason you withdraw your child from the lunch program, any remaining fees will be refunded.
Lunches
Do not send food that needs heating, as there will not be a microwave available.
Due to allergies, please refrain from sending food to school containing nuts or fish, as these are the most common allergies.
The lunch program follows the 'no junk' food policy of the Winnipeg School Division. Items not allowed include gum, chips, pop, candy, chocolate or seeds in the shell. Such items found may be taken away from the student and given to their teacher to be picked up at the end of the day.
Lunch program applications are available through the School office in person or by emailing glenelmlunchprogram@gmail.com
