Food & Water Bottles on Campus

All ES students need to bring their own healthy snacks for morning snack time.

Students may bring their own lunch from home or order hot lunch from the school’s external food service provider.

Hot lunch services are offered for KG2 to Grade 5 students.  A menu is shared at the beginning of each month.  Orders are made online through the Eagle Site.  All orders must be submitted by midnight the day before your child plans to eat hot lunch in order to allow the food service provider to plan appropriately.

Nutritious food is essential to keep students’ energy at appropriate levels to keep them satisfied and attentive to the learning tasks.  Sweets and foods with a high level of sugar provide false bursts of energy and may leave students hungry and sometimes irritable, which impacts their ability to learn. Candy, chocolate, chips, commercially-packaged cookies, and soft drinks are prohibited and students will be asked to save these treats for home. As models of healthy living, we ask that only healthy options are packed for your child. 

AIS-R is not an allergen-free (nut, milk, wheat, fish, etc.) campus.  We cannot guarantee that hot lunch ordered from our external food provider or food brought to school by students will be allergen free. 

All students must have their own reusable water bottle. Students will bring their water bottle to their classes, the dining hall, and recess. 

As AIS-R continues a genuine commitment to be environmental, alongside our focus on global citizenship through the Council of International Schools, we discourage the use of disposable plastic water bottles. Our state-of-the-art filtered water fountains allow our community to refill reusable bottles or use the drinking spout. The fountains are fully functional and accessible campus wide. Reusable bottles are available for purchase at the Eagle’s Nest store on campus and at many retailers throughout Riyadh. 

Student Accounts

Parents must add funds to their child’s account to purchase hot lunch.  Funds can be added through the AIS-R Finance Office.  

If a child does not have enough funds on their student ID card, parents will be notified. If the account exceeds a balance of -100 SAR, the child will no longer be eligible to purchase hot lunch until the account is settled.

Any credit left at the end of the year will roll over to next year for returning students.  Withdrawing students may obtain a refund for any leftover funds from the Finance Office at the end of the year.
