Lunch & Nutrition

Lunch time

Calder School provides lunch time supervision only. However, children are expected to go home for lunch if a caregiver is available as space for lunch at the school is limited. A number of paid supervisors are responsible for the children during lunch and the children eat in their classrooms inside the school. They are assisted by staff on supervision. Once the children have finished eating, they move outside until afternoon classes commence.

Fee Schedule

Lunch Program fees are due on the first of each month for students who remain at school during the lunch hour. Parents will be notified of the monthly cost for the lunch program supervision in September of the current school year. Payment can be made by either cash or cheque.

Remember to bring utensils and/or plates. There are no microwaves so please bring heated food in a thermos.

If you want to join our supervisors team, please visit the main office to get an application form.

For safety reasons, students MUST NOT LEAVE THE SCHOOL GROUNDS for any reason unless written permission has been given in advance by their parent/guardian.

Snacks

E4C is committed to ensuring that all students have access to the nourishment they need to thrive throughout the school day. We offer a breakfast program specifically designed for students who may otherwise start their day on an empty stomach.

In addition, we provide a variety of nutritious snacks to all students on a daily basis. These snacks include fresh fruits like oranges and apples, protein-rich options such as cheese and crackers, and wholesome dairy choices like fruit yogurt. This initiative is made possible by the kind contributions of our donors and through valuable grant funding.

Students are always welcome to supplement these offerings by bringing their own nutritious snacks from home.
