The Burnaby School District established the School Meal Program to provide a nutritious lunch to our students while at school.
Please CLICK HERE for information regarding our School Meal Program. If you are interested, please go to School Cash Online to sign up when the window is open and pay for the program. There are clear deadlines each month.
How to participate in the School Meal Program:
Approximately every four weeks a new menu and payment instructions will be sent by email to families.
The cost of this program is currently $70 per month per child.
Limited funding is available to school districts through the Ministry of Education and Child Care’s Feeding Futures Fund to provide food to students who need it most. If families are experiencing food security challenges or financial hardship, and children require a meal during the school day, subsidized meals are available.
We ask families who require subsidy to contribute what they can.
Please note: The monthly fee is the same for each cycle and is averaged over the school year so it does not change if there are holidays or Pro-D days.
Registration and payment for the School Meal Program will be available every month on School Cash Online. You will receive an email with the information that the item is available to be purchased with a specific due date.
Late registration and payment will NOT be accepted. Cash is not accepted.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- Children with life threatening food allergies should not participate in the School Meal Program.
- If your child cannot eat or does not like the food on any given day, please send a lunch from home – no substitutions are available.
- By selecting the veggie menu option, you commit your child to vegetarian meals for the entire month. It’s not an alternative to be chosen on days they dislike the regular menu or vice versa.
- It is the parents’ responsibility to review the monthly menu to ensure that their child is aware of any menu item that is prohibited due to dietary restriction and to instruct the child to avoid this menu item.
- On field trip days, students participating in the School Meal Program will be provided with a bag lunch consisting of a sandwich or wrap, apple, and juice box.
Despite our reasonable efforts, the school district cannot guarantee that there are no allergens in the menu items which may cause an anaphylactic reaction.
