Charging Policy for Cafeteria

Dear Parents,

Because of the number of charged lunches taking place, it has become necessary for the cafeteria to adopt a charging policy. Please read this policy carefully. We know everyone has those days that go wrong from the start, and it may be necessary to charge a lunch.  That is fine.  We just don’t want to encourage this as a habit. Thanks so much for your understanding.

OUR LADY OF GRACE CATHOLIC SCHOOL CHARGING POLICY  ADOPTED 2010-11

We strongly discourage meal charges but understand that an occasional emergency at home makes it necessary to do so.  Our school’s policy, effective immediately, will be:

    All charges must be paid in 10 days

    Students may not charge more than 4 meals without payment

    Parents will be notified by charge slips amount due

    It is the student’s responsibility to see that these notices get home

    Students will not be allowed to charge a 5th meal

    No lunches can be charged during the last week of school

    At the end of the month a $5 late fee will be attached to unpaid charge balances.

After the 4th meal charged, the  cafeteria will provide a minimal lunch consisting of a peanut butter and jelly uncrustable and a milk for the regular $3.00 lunch price.

It is strongly recommended that lunch charges be paid in a timely fashion.

 Drink cards may be purchased for $8 per card. One card entitles student to 20 drinks. Each time a student gets a drink, his/her card is punched. Students may purchase two drinks if desired (which some do), but know the card will be punched twice. When the card is nearly exhausted, a reminder will be sent home in the form of an envelope. Please send money in that envelope and another card will be issued to your student. If a student does not wish to purchase a card, but would like a drink on given days, he/she may bring 40 cents to pay for a drink.

Drinks offered include: White milk, chocolate milk, vanilla milk, strawberry milk, orange juice and apple juice

Please Accept Our Invitation

Our cafeteria has one full-time staff member and two part-time staff members, each working 20 hours a week. Because we try to keep our operating costs at a minimum, the cafeteria relies on its volunteers to help in preparing, serving and cleaning up during the lunch periods. You are invited to join us for 2-3 hours a month, to help fill this all important need to feed our OLG crew. You are asked to be here at 10:30 a.m. and are finished by 12:45 p.m.

What are the benefits, you ask? Children love seeing a parent, grandparent, other relatives during their school day. Volunteering in the cafeteria allows you not only to see your child, but also have lunch (on us, of course!) with that child. The pay is wonderful....jewels in your crown in heaven! You may call Camy, 770-5660, ext 295 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . I am waiting to hear from you!

Volunteer Schedule goes here.
