When is the deadline to order?
Most times, the 15th of the month prior is when the order cuts off. From time to time, the 15th may be on a weekend, so we will extend the date. Look for updates to the deadlines on this page and in the HSA Happenings newsletter.
Why do we need to order ahead of time?
Our vendors have large orders to fill, so it is helpful for them to prepare for these orders ahead of time; additionally, all add-on items need to be purchased in advance.
What happens if my student misses school?
You may come to school to pick up the meal from the office. Unfortunately, no refunds can be issued when a student misses school.
I thought I ordered my student hot lunch, but I forgot. Will my student have a meal to eat?
We have a limited amount of shelf-stable snacks and menu items for these instances.
If my student forgot their lunch, can I have something delivered from DoorDash or UberEats?
We do not allow DoorDash, Uber Eats, or other food delivery services to be delivered to students during the school day. This helps us maintain a secure campus and ensures that student food deliveries do not disrupt the school day.
