Hello OLH Families,
 
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve your children HOT LUNCH again this year.  It is our continued commitment to serve nutritious and great tasting food.  Each meal is well balanced and will contain the standard recommendation for protein, carbohydrate, fruit/vegetable, grain and dairy.  The price for hot lunch or milk will remain the same for this year.  Hot lunch is $3.50 and includes (1) milk; additional milk and milk for cold lunch students will be .50 cents.    
 
 The system for paying for hot lunch is as follows:  Send envelope with check, cash, or money order to the school office marked "HOT LUNCH" with the student's/family name on the outside and it will be deposited into their account.  Any time the student receives hot lunch the charge will be deducted.   Hot Lunch balances can be accessed in Sycamore. Please pay close attention to your student’s balance as all accounts need to maintain a positive balance.  Any  remaining balances from last school year have been transferred to the current school year.  We are working on the online payment option but it is not available at this time. 
 
We have made some exciting improvements to the program this year in an effort to increase participation and appeal to the tastes of a wider range of students and staff.  The system for ordering hot lunch or milk is as follows: 
​

• The monthly menu is sent home each month. 
• Students wanting hot lunch will order it in their homeroom each morning during class attendance. 
• If the student doesn't like the entree for the day and would still like hot lunch, a bean burrito   can replace the entree for that day.  This substitution must be ordered in homeroom at the same time as lunch is ordered.  This does not change the price of hot lunch, the chef salad or the yogurt becomes the entree for that day.
• We order food portions based on the lunch count numbers that we receive from the school office each morning.  If your child is coming late to school and wants hot lunch, please call the school office before 8:30AM so they can be included in the count for the day.
• We have set up the lunch line to ensure that the food will be at the desired temperature when the students go through the line. 

 
We will again be a part of the Government Hot Lunch Program.   Please take the opportunity to complete and return the free and reduced application.  Mail the completed application to the school:  Attention Martha Valdovino  All applications will be processed as soon as they are received.  The first day of hot lunch is August 18 so send them as soon as possible to assure that your child can start receiving the benefit of free and reduced lunches.  If you receive food stamps, your child is eligible for free hot lunch without completing the application.  You can fill in the food stamp number on the free and reduced application in the space provided or by sending each child’s name and their food stamp number to Martha Valdovino or through e-mail mvaldovino.
