Hot Lunch Program - LAST CALL Forms Due on Tuesday, September 15

This year the program will be all electronic, meaning no paper forms will be sent home. There will be an online Google form to fill out and only e-transfer will be accepted. This greatly reduces volunteer, school staff and teacher time.
Meals will start on Sept 22 which is earlier than usual and will run until the end of the school year.
We are NOT doing monthly orders, instead we are doing quarterly orders with the first one due SEPT 15 encompassing 9 meals. This is also an attempt to streamline the process and reduce volunteer time required to run the program.
Your student can still be sponsored by Mrs Palmer like previous years, who will arrange to pay for those meals. Mrs Palmer sent home information this week about that process and there is more information in the Google Form to fill out below.
Cost of food is rising so the prices had to go up. Some familiies may need a bit of extra help therefore if you are able to help sponsor another student's meal by donating to the program, there will be a space to indicate that in the Google Form below. We appreciate all the help we get from JCC families. Like previous years we are attempting to have a few free meals throughout the year for all to enjoy if they wish to participate.
We still need parent volunteers to help at each meal. We require volunteers from 11:15am to approximately 12:00pm to help sort the meals into the classrooms, deliver the meals to the classrooms and then clean up afterwards. Usually 2-3 people are required each week. The Google Form also has space to fill out when/if you are able to help out. The program won't run if we don't have enough help!
If any of these changes creates a challenge for your family, please reach out to Kathryn, the hot lunch coordinator, at 250 574 8649 or kwelsman@live.ca and we can see how we may be able to help you.

Please fill out the Google Form below to participate in this quarter. The form and payment are due by SEPTEMBER 15th.

Parent Parking - Student Drop Off/Pick Up Zones

To ensure that students are dropped off and picked up in a safe manner, please see the map below to show appropriate drop off locations for students. We ask that if you are using a parking lot, please park appropriately and walk your child to the doors to ensure they get into the building safely. There is a dedicated drop off zone on the north side of 7th Avenue West. We are asking you not to park on the south side of 7th Avenue West as it impedes traffic flow on that street. If you are parking / dropping off in the bus loop (between 9:00 am - 2:30 pm or after 3:30 pm), ensure you are only parking on the sidewalk side of the loop.
