Lunch
FOOD ALLERGIES:
Peanut and nut aware / sensitive school
To help provide a safe learning environment for all of our students, we ask that parents refrain from sending food (in lunches or as a snack) that contain any nuts—such as peanut butter or Nutella sandwiches. While this might pose a minor inconvenience for some people, these products might mean the difference between life and death for those with severe allergies. It is a collective responsibility to ensure we provide a safe environment for everyone.
NUTRITION:
Developing good eating habits is an objective of the Canada’s Food Guide. All students are encouraged to bring healthy lunches and snacks to eat during breaks. The school does not sell or provide students with any food.
LUNCH:
It is our intent to assist families whose children stay for lunch offering a well-organized and well-supervised lunch hour program. École Brander Gardens School has a paid lunch program. If your child stays for lunch there is a cost associated with the supervision during lunch break.
Students bring their own lunches (including utensils) and are supervised in their classroom. They then enjoy a recess outside, weather permitting.
The fee sheets are detailed and include every fee that might be charged, for every grade. It is important to know that you may not have to pay for every item. Please refer to School Fees for more information.
Parents are required to pay for lunch fees on SchoolZone, which are uploaded monthly,
Microwaves are not available for students, and we recommend a thermos as an option for warm food.
