Lunch Program

St. Vincent Elementary School offers a hot lunch program for all students each full school day. Parents need to be aware that there are certain stipulations and regulations made by the government in order to receive federal funds for the cafeteria program. The cafeteria staff do their very best to provide nourishing, appealing meals within these guidelines and within the expectation that the Food Service Program be a self-sustaining entity of the St. Vincent de Paul Schools.

Students may either buy the lunch offered in the cafeteria or bring their lunch to school. Students that bring their lunch may buy milk on a daily basis for 60 cents a carton. Students may not leave the school grounds to buy a lunch.
The cost for the lunch each day is $3.75 Students may also purchase a second carton of milk for 60 cents.
The Federal government offers meals at a free or reduced rate for families that meet the criteria. These guidelines are based on salary and size of a family. This criteria and an application is available to all families on the parent forms page or at the Registration Night in August. If your family status changes during the year, applications are also available at the school office. This information is confidential so please return the form in an envelope marked “Cafeteria”.
If a student has a food allergy to a certain type of food or milk, or if they have special dietary needs, please notify the school nurse in a written note with documentation from your family doctor.
Each student will be issued a cafeteria ID number and ID card. This card will be swiped when your child buys a lunch or milk. This ID card works like a debit card. Parents need to send money to school at the beginning of the week or month in an envelope marked “cafeteria” or “lunch money” and with your child’s name. Checks need to be made payable to St. Vincent Cafeteria. This money will be deposited in your child’s account. Each time your child buys a lunch or milk, the money will be subtracted from his/her account. Occasionally a child’s account will run out of money and a note will be sent home if your child owes money.
Lost or broken ID cards cost $5.00 to have replaced. A note will be sent to the parent if this happens. In order to teach the children responsibility, parents are encouraged to have the child pays the $5.00 for the replacement card.
