LUNCH & NUTRITION

Students who live in the neighborhood are encouraged to go home for lunch. We recognize that most of our students must stay at school for lunch and we provide a supervised lunchtime program.  Students who remain at school for lunch must pay a lunch program fee to cover the cost of supervisors, additional staffing costs, and any supplies that may be needed. Students must still bring their own lunch; the program does not provide food.

LUNCH PROGRAM FEES

Lunch program fees are collected to cover the cost of lunchroom supervisors hired to assist with supervision over the lunch hour. These fees are calculated for the year and cannot be prorated. The monthly fee will be shown on your student's SchoolZone account.

The fee for students staying at school for lunch occasionally is $2.00 per day. Students who usually eat lunch away from the school, but who must stay at school for extracurricular or service activities, are not required to pay the occasional user fee. 

Online payments through SchoolZone are preferred. You may also send exact cash or a cheque made out to Richard Secord School to the school office. 

HEALTHY SNACK AND LUNCH CHOICES

Students should bring sufficient snacks to eat at recess, as well as a healthy lunch. In order to support the safety of our students with severe peanut & nut product allergies, we ask that all students refrain from bringing nuts into our school. 

LUNCH SUPERVISION

Lunch supervisors and lunch monitors work to make the lunch period a pleasant and relaxing time for students. General school behaviour expectations for students are in effect at all times. Please refer to the Richard Secord Rights and Responsibilities document for more information on student behaviour expectations.
