Cafeteria

NGES Is A Peanut Aware School

Due to a life threatening allergy, please be advised that we are a Peanut Aware School. We want to ensure the safety of all our students. Student lunch and snack items can not contain peanuts or peanut butter. The school kitchen follows the same guidelines.

SchoolCash Online Ordering Change

Starting in September 2024 the ordering window for SchoolCash Online lunch and recess orders will change. A menu will be posted and open for orders on Friday and close the next Wednesday at midnight for the following week's menu. This will provide necessary time for cafeteria staff to acquire supplies, etc.

SchoolCash Online is our preferred method of payment. It helps parents and community members pay school-related fees safely, quickly, and easily. Registering for SchoolCash Online is simple and secure. Create an account at https://ssrce.schoolcashonline.com/.

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.
