Dining Hall 

Dining Hall services are offered for lunch.  A menu is shared via Google Classroom.    

• All children must have their own water bottle and bring this water bottle to the Dining Hall.

• Students are supervised in the Dining Hall at all times by teachers.

• All lunches are purchased through the AIS-R finance office and the amount is credited to the student’s ID card. A minimum deposit of 200 SR in finance is required. Parents or students are responsible for adding money to their credit lunch account. A parent can access their child’s lunch account via Powerschool.

• When a student's hot lunch account slips into the negative balance, a Powerschool message is automatically sent home to the parent informing them of the negative account.  All IOU's must be settled by year end to have access to Powerschool for Semester 2 report cards. Additionally, all accounts must be settled "in full" for withdrawal packet completion/clearance. 

  • Any student who chooses to eat hot lunch and has exceeded a negative balance of 48 SR or more will eat lunch in the MS Office on Sundays. The MS Office will call home to inform the parents. Students who exceed a balance of - 100 will no longer be eligible for our hot lunch services until funds have been paid in full.

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

• Indoor and outdoor hand washing facilities are available. 

• Lunch card sharing between friends is not allowed.

• We ask that only healthy options are packed for your child.

Everyone is expected to follow the Dining Hall rules to ensure order and safety. This includes but is not limited to the following:  

• Walk 

• Listen and respond to adult directions for dismissal

• Keep your place in line (no cutting)

• Use indoor voices

  • Use manners while eating (Saying Please, Thank You, Your Welcome)

• Stay seated

• Keep your eating place clean

• Clean as you go: Throw away waste into the garbage can when dismissed

• No cash purchases are allowed in the Dining Hall

Healthy Eating Guidelines for Snacks and Lunches 

Nutritious snacks are essential to keep students’ energy at appropriate levels to keep them satisfied and attentive to the learning tasks at hand. The determination of a healthy snack is dependent upon labels and packaging and is to the discretion of the Dining Hall supervisors which include the Middle School leaders and teachers.

With 60 nationalities and a transient community, AIS-R is NOT an allergen-free (nut, milk, wheat, fish, etc.) campus and due to our food suppliers, we cannot guarantee that food prepared in our Dining Halls or food brought to school by students is nut/allergen free.
