The cost per meal is $5.75. Here is an example if you sign up for the entire school year: for a toddler the cost is $625 (3 days a week, M-W-F) and for a primary/elementary student it is $1,060 (5 days a week).

All payments for the lunch program are through your FACTS account.

The signup is via a form assigned to your child on the Parent Portal. You may sign up for the 1st semester, the entire school year, or (later) for the 2nd semester.

The form is available:

• For a few weeks in July/August, prior to the beginning of the 1st (Fall) semester
• After 4 weeks there will be another opportunity to sign up to the program
• Again for a few weeks in January, prior to the beginning of the 2nd (Spring) semester
• After 4 weeks there will be another opportunity to sign up to the program

You will be notified each time the form becomes available and what the deadlines for submitting it are. We recommend you download your submitted form (PDF) for your records. The cost will be prorated as needed (according to the start date for your child’s lunch).

We offer the 4 enrollment periods as outlined above. Once the signup form has been removed from the Parent Portal you need to wait for the next, upcoming enrollment period if you wish to sign up your child.

If you are not sure that your child will eat the lunch food, you can email the office and ask for a week to try it out. You may then decide to continue – by signing up via the form during the (next) registration period – or not. The trial week will be billed via your FACTS account.

We offer vegetarian and vegan options. Unfortunately we are not able to offer more individualized meals.

Yes, at any time. Simply email the office and we can take you off the program effective the following week.

Meal plan changes can be made during the registration periods listed above. Only the meal options – regular, vegetarian, or vegan – can be changed.

All school days including RSVP days. The program duration depends on your choice of 1st/2nd semester or full year.

No, because many families take a vacation during this time. Registration for lunch for GLM’s 4 summer sessions (running from late June until mid August) are via the summer registration forms on the Parent Portal. You’ll be notified once this form is available to you.

The cost per meal and the selection of the food are the same but the portions will be adjusted accordingly.

Unfortunately not. Since our lunch program is provided by School Foodies, we are not able to add lunches on a day’s notice. If you forgot your child’s lunchbox please make arrangements with the classroom if you are unable to drop it off in time for lunch.

We cannot give refunds for meals not consumed due to absences. We will cancel the remaining amount due in case you decide to un-enroll from the lunch program for your child.
