Lunch

Lunch begins at 11:36 am

Lunch ends at 12:25 pm

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.

LUNCH FEES and SUPERVISION:

At École Brander Gardens School if your child stays at school during lunchtime, there is a monthly supervision fee.  The fee is a shared cost between the school and families that covers supervisors' salaries.  Fees do not include the provision of food.  Edmonton Public School Board POlicy HH.AR outlines the Lunch Time Supervision Service (Edmonton Public School Board Policy HH.AR).

Parents are required to pay for the Lunch Supervision Fee on SchoolZone, which are uploaded monthly.  Please refer to School Fees on our website for more information. 

Students who stay for lunch must not leave the school grounds without written permission.

NOTE - ALL STUDENTS staying at school during lunchtime must complete the Lunch-time Supervision Service Registration Form.  This form is filled out at the beginning of each school year and is available on SchoolZone.

LUNCH PROGRAM BEHAVIOUR:

Participating students are expected to behave in a respectful and responsible manner. Failure to do so will result in removal of lunchroom privileges, with parents having to find alternative lunch hour arrangements.  

LUNCH UTENSILS and WATER BOTTLES:

Just a reminder to please send your child with cutlery for their lunches/snacks and water bottles every day.

We have water-bottle refilling stations at Brander Gardens School that are available to all students.  Please ensure that your child comes to school with a water bottle every day.

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.
