Clifton School Lunch Program
The Lunch Program is run by the Clifton School
Parent Advisory Council. There is a monthly fee for each child who
stays for lunch. There are microwave ovens available for heating the
children's lunches on certain days. If lunches are to be heated in the
microwave, please send lunches in microwave containers. Although
the lunch program has no particular regulations about the types of food
the children bring, the school strongly encourages students to bring
healthy lunches to school.
Applications for the lunch program may be
obtained from the school office.
Periodically children are asked to
stay for lunch to take part in activities initiated by the school (e.g.
field trips, sports events, etc.). On these days there is no lunch fee
required, and the children who are not in the lunch program will make
arrangements with the person in charge of the activity about where to
eat lunch.
PLEASE NOTE: Registration
must be completed and 10 post-dated cheques attached to attend the lunch
program. Cheques are to be dated the first day of each month. Any
child who attends the lunch program more than two times a month will be asked to
provide post-dated cheques. Payment options are available for special
circumstances. Please request this when completing the registration
package.
Lunch program payments should be
put into a sealed envelope labelled with your child's name and put into
the lockbox outside the general office. Please do not give the payments
to school office staff or hand them to lunch program staff who are on
duty.

The Clifton School Lunch Program will
operate under the school’s Code of Conduct. The following
expectations are specific to the lunch program.
1. Permission slips or phone calls are
appreciated if a child will not be at school for lunch;
2. Students will stay on school property
during the lunch hour;
3. Students must have permission to leave
the lunch room;
4. Students are expected to eat their
lunch and handle their own food and containers
carefully; and

Cooperation is expected from
all students.
On occasion an incident will arise when a
child must be reminded of the expectations. Parents will be contacted by the
lunch program supervisors for minor incidents and by the chairperson
for more serious incidents.
PLEASE NOTE: Prompt payment of lunch
program
