The Nova Scotia School Lunch Program started on October 28 at Maple Ridge Elementary. All students
in our school, including pre-primary students, can participate in the lunch program.
Online ordering and the ordering window:
○ You will need to create an account to order meals.
○ All meals must be ordered online during the set ordering window. You will order meals for a 2
week period each time the ordering window is open (up to 10 meals). Students are not able to
order lunch from the cafeteria on a daily basis. Ordering opens on Friday mornings and closes
on Wednesday at noon for meals that will start being served the following Monday.
- For example: to order lunches from November 12 - 21, you must order between Friday,
November 1st and noon on Wednesday November 6th. You will not be able to order meals for
November 12 to Nov 21 after November 6th at noon.
○ If you do not have access to a device or the internet to place meal orders please reach out to
us to discuss further.
Pay what you can model:
○ Families can choose to pay nothing for the meal. If you choose, you can pay for the meal
(either in full, or any amount that you choose).
○ There is no requirement to pay for the meal, and no one will know whether you paid or how
much you paid. All information related to payment is completely confidential. The only
information the school will have is which meals your child ordered. Families should not feel
pressure to pay.
Menu:
○ Everyday there will be two meal options. At least one of these options will be vegetarian.
○ When ordering, you will be able to see the ingredients for each meal to help you make a
decision on whether to order. The lunch program can’t guarantee that meals are 100 percent
allergen free due to the risk of cross-contamination.
○ Snacks can still be purchased during recess (but not during lunch).
○ Milk can be purchased daily for 50 cents. Milk is no longer pre-ordered.
Please note, we can no longer accept daily orders.
