Hardisty School Lunch Program 2011-2012
As a service to parents, Hardisty School operates a supervised Lunch Program for students staying at school during the
lunch hour. Parents who choose to have their child/children participate in this lunch program pay for this service.
Note: Edmonton Public Schools Board Policy IH.BP states:
Schools shall provide lunch-time supervision at school for elementary and junior high students whose parents request
the service and pay the required fees.
Edmonton Public School Board Policy IH.AR states:
If parents fail to pay the required fees, the principal may:
a) Withdraw privileges normally available to students during the lunch hour. Or
b) Discontinue the service after informing the parents that they will be required to make alternative
arrangements.
In order to pay for the costs of the lunch program, one of the following options will be charged:
Elementary: $15.00 per month or $150.00 per year
Junior High: $10.00 per month or $100.00 per year
Family rate: $200.00 per year (two or more students - no monthly family rate)
Note: Lunch fees cover the salary for our eight lunch supervisors, incidentals provided to students as well as
for custodial set up and clean up.
• LUNCH FEES ARE REQUIRED TO BE PAID IN FULL BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER •
A student who attends the Lunch Program on a “drop-in” basis is responsible for a $2.00 drop-in charge to be
presented to the Lunchroom Supervisor or office. A registration form/contract must also be completed and handed in
for all occasional and regular drop-in students.
Please make cheques for the Lunch Program payable to: Hardisty School.
Be advised that we also accept Visa/MasterCard and Interac.
If you have any questions regarding the Lunch Program please contact the office at 780-469-0426.
Students participating in the Lunch Program are governed by the Lunch Program Behavior Expectations for the
students and that disciplinary steps will be taken when students choose to not follow the rules set out for them.
