Heron Pond
Elementary School Food Service Program 2008-09
The Heron Pond Elementary School breakfast/lunch program is a pre-paid system. Each student has a meal account in which parents make payments
to cover their children’s purchases in advance. When making payments,
please specify how the money is to be used: breakfast and/or lunch, or milk only.
All accounts are OPEN unless we receive a letter from you requesting no
purchases. Occasionally, children do get adventurous and sometimes
make purchases their parents are unaware of. Parents are responsible for
these purchases.
What’s for lunch and may I join my child?
Please refer to our menu for selections. This will help you to determine
the funds needed. Our menu is sent home monthly with your child and is also
available on the school website (click
here). Parents and grandparents are
welcome to join us. Please call 673-1811 (ext. 4) by 9:00 on the day you will be
dining with us to be included in the lunch count. Adult meals are $4.00.
Wellness
The lunch program encourages healthy eating and makes every
effort to provide nutritious and satisfying foods for our students. We use
a variety
whole grains such as wheat, oats, bran, barley, and rice. We also include
beef, pork,
chicken, and turkey in our recipes. The lunch program offers fresh, frozen, or canned
fruits and vegetables to encourage your children to try a wide variety of
foods. A choice of whole milk, 1% low fat
milk or 1% chocolate milk is provided with each meal.
My child has food allergies.
We ask parents to contact us to discuss your child’s needs. Please contact
Carol S. Malony, Food Service Manager or
the school nurse, Donna Kemp, at 673-1811
so we can help you with your food options.
How to make a payment.
All checks or cash should be in an envelope with the student’s
full name and teacher’s name to ensure proper credit. Payment is
due every FRIDAY for the upcoming week. Some parents prefer to mail their checks
to us directly so payments are not lost. Money stays in your child’s
account until it is used, so absences and field trips need not be a worry.
Parents are asked to keep sufficient money in their child’s account. To check
the account balance for a child at Jacques Memorial, please call Mrs. Jennifer
Parquette at 673-4434, extension 2. To check balances for children
at Heron Pond, please email or call Mrs.
Carol Malony at 673-1811, extension 4. Accounts that are out of
money will be closed and no purchases allowed until ample funds are in the
account. This is not a credit card, but a pre-paid system. We
reserve the right to serve an alternative lunch to children who are out of
money, so please send your payments on time. Overdue notices are sent home
with the children so please check their backpack daily. Please make check
payable to the Milford School District. Checks may be mailed to:
Heron Pond Elementary School * Food Services * 80 Heron Pond Road * Milford, NH
03055.
