At St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Campus a healthy, nutritional, hot lunch is available each school day in the cafeteria. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are also available. We are participants in the National School Lunch Program and, as such, are reviewed and regulated by the Ohio Department of Education, Office for Safety, health and Nutrition. All of our menus strive to serve healthy, nutritional components for a complete lunch which meets/exceeds the USDA targets for nutrition. Each lunch includes a main entrée', bread, a serving of vegetables, and an 8-oz. container of milk. We do not offer any type of “fried” food in the cafeteria. We strive to encourage proper nutrition and healthy eating habits, therefore, students in Grades 1-5 (Seton Campus) are not permitted to bring soft drinks for their lunch.
The cost of lunch is $2.50 day and includes one milk (white, strawberry or chocolate) or one orange juice. Milk and juice are also available for those who prefer to pack their lunch at the cost of $.50 each. There will be a charge of $1.00 for an extra portion. A monthly lunch menu will be included in the school newsletter and on the web-site. Free and reduced-priced lunch is offered to those who financially qualify. Applications are sent home with each student at the beginning of the school year and are available at any time thereafter upon request.
Lunch and milk money is collected each morning in the classroom. For the convenience of those students who buy lunch every day or milk every day, parents may pay weekly on Mondays only , for one week at a time. The weekly amount of $12.50 for lunch or $2.50 for milk should be placed in an envelope with the child's name and homeroom clearly visible. If your child likes to buy some days and pack other days, we ask that you pay on a daily basis. If your child forgets or loses their lunch money, they may charge for that day and repay the amount the following day . For your convenience, you may pay by check payable to Seton Cafeteria if exact change is not available. The cafeteria cannot make change. A fee will be charged for all checks returned for any reason. Parents who are invited to school for lunch on special occasions such as student of the week and birthdays are asked to please notify the cafeteria in advance if they are buying their lunch.
When your child pays for lunch and milk, this information is recorded on a master class list. As your child receives their lunch and milk, it will be checked off the master sheet. This allows us to keep a current and accurate account of each child in the event that one would happen to go home ill without receiving lunch or milk, as well as unplanned absences, or forgotten field trips. Contact the school cafeteria personnel at 575-0093, extension 7, can make verification of these “credits”.
Notes will be sent home on a daily basis if your child has an outstanding charge. We ask that these be taken care of as soon as possible. If your family or child has any extenuating circumstances, please feel free to contact cafeteria personnel. We will do our best to accommodate you.
In the interest of justice to all of our students, no fast food lunches are to be brought to school or dropped off by parents . As lunchtime is considered part of our school day and socialization with peers is an important aspect of the child's learning, we expect that all students will remain at school during this time.
