Cafeteria
NGES Is A Peanut Safe School
Due to a life threatening allergy, please be advised that we are now a Peanut Safe School effective September 2021. We want to ensure the safety of all our students. Student lunch and snack items can no longer contain peanuts or peanut butter. The school kitchen will follow the same guidelines.
If you have questions concerning these changes please contact the school office at 902-644-5020.
School Cafeteria Menu Information
Beginning March 27/23 we are moving closer toward a paperless method of payment for school related purchases. We will no longer be sending home a paper copy of the lunch menu. If you continue to pay in cash, a paper copy of the menu is available every weekend on our school website at www.nges.ednet.ns.ca under the tab "For Families/Cafeteria" for you to print. A completed copy of the menu must accompany any cash sent to the school for purchasing recess and/or lunch.
School Vouchers for Recess/Lunch
To redeem a school cafeteria voucher:
1) Omit a purchase of equal value during your online order for the upcoming week and submit the online order.
2) Note on the voucher which weekday the order is for and what the item, of equal value, is you are ordering.
3) Send the voucher in on Monday morning in your child’s communication folder for an item of equal value.
During morning start-up the student's communicatation folder is where teachers look for items like vouchers, pick-up notes and bus notes.
Missed lunch/recess vouchers are sent home in student communication folders and to keep our system organized, we require you wait until you receive the voucher to use it. Ms Tracy does them as quickly as possible. Please check your child’s communication folder for vouchers regularly and keep vouchers in a safe place as they are equivalent to cash to be redeemed when ordering recess/lunch items.
