Milk is offered daily to students during all lunch shifts.  We offer 2% white milk or non-fat chocolate for your child. The current cost per year is indicated on the milk order form.  Orders are accepted throughout the year on a prorated basis.  If you choose to order after the initial deadline, please contact the office for the amount due.

We provide Free Milk to qualified families. Families may request free milk directly through the Main Office.  For the Milk Policy and guidelines, CLICK HERE.     You may also access these forms through the Parent Portal Documents Sections using your own personal log-on.

ST. JAMES SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM 

Hot lunch is served daily on a paid-only basis and ordered in advance by the month. Lunch orders must be placed by the stated deadline. If you do not order hot lunch, please send your child in with his/her own nut-free lunch.  If your child forgets his/her lunch, an allergy-safe snack is offered, usually Cheerios.  *Please review the policies at the bottom of this page.

NOTE: LUNCH ORDERS MUST BE IN BY THE DUE DATE. WE CAN NOT ACCOMMODATE LATE ORDERS & FOLLOW THE ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE FORM TO SUBMIT YOUR ORDERS.  PLEASE SEND EXACT PAYMENT - CHANGE IS NOT PROVIDED
 

• Lunch order forms are sent home monthly.
• In order to keep costs down, we order our lunches from our vendor a month in advance.  For this reason, it is imperative that you turn your order in by the stated deadline each month in order for your child’s lunch to be included.
• Check your selections for the entire month and circle the corresponding dates on the bottom menu, tally the total number of lunches ordered and return the upper section with your payment.  The bottom menu is for your own records so you will know when your child/children will need to bring a bag lunch.
• You must fill out one menu per child, but you may pay for all your children with one check.
• Your child’s teacher will receive a spreadsheet showing the students who are having hot lunch for the entire month. Each day, the teacher will distribute a generic lunch ticket to those students who ordered, which the student must in turn present to the lunch monitor in the cafeteria.
• It is not possible to place a same-day “add-on” lunch order.  If your child forgets his/her lunch, you may bring your child’s lunch to school for them.  If not, we will offer them cereal so they will at least have some sort of lunch.
• When your child is dismissed early or is sick on the day that he or she ordered lunch, you may call in advance to request that we wrap lunch for him/her and you may pick it up.  Otherwise, you have forfeited the lunch.    There will be no refunds issued for absences, illness, or early dismissals.
• If we have a school cancellation, you may request a credit for the lunch that you paid for which may be applied to the next month’s lunch order. Indicate on your order that you are taking a credit and for what date.
• Please note – teachers and staff are not permitted, by State law, to heat individual student lunches.
