Instructions for the St. Albert the Great Hot Lunch Program

September 2020-21 School Year

The St. Albert Lunch Program offers a delicious, healthy lunch, drink and sides for students Monday through Friday! Participation in the Lunch Program is optional. This program is coordinated through Nutritional Development Services and provides a student with 1/3 of their daily requirement for calories and key growth nutrients. Each entree is supplemented with fresh fruit, vegetables and/or another healthy snack and a choice of white, chocolate or strawberry milks. Hot Lunch is ordered monthly, in advance, by the due date.

For example, the March menu will be available during the 2nd week of February.

To place your order, please follow these easy steps:

1.  Print a lunch menu for each child in your household.

2.  Fill in your child’s name and homeroom.

3.  Highlight or circle each day that your child would like to eat.

4.  Please do not order hot lunch for days that your child will NOT be in school, i.e. school trips etc. 

5.  Fill in # days eating and total the amount due for the month, $2.80 x #days eating, fill in total.

6.  The total that is due will be taken via your incidental account in FACTS. This means that your payment will be automatically withdrawn from your account that is associated with the FACTS system, so there is no need to enclose money (just make sure the money will be in your account).
