School Council organizes Pizza and Popcorn days at our school for students and staff. Not only do our students and staff have the opportunity to enjoy a yummy lunch or snack, but these programs also help us raise funds to support our school. 

Mondays (Tuesday when Monday is a holiday).  – Pizza Orders are administered via pleasantpark.hotlunches.net 
  
Pizza is either ordered for the Full Year or per “Term” (Term 1 is for 18 weeks starting Monday, Oct 17th to Monday, Feb 27th), will be supplied by Pizza Pizza, and delivered to your student’s classroom during 2nd nutritional break at 1:15 pm. 

Students cannot bring money into school to buy pizza, since we have no ability to make change and we want to ensure that they have parental permission to buy pizza, and we also have to preorder the pizza.

When there is a holiday or snow day on a Monday we will do “Pizza Tuesdays”. No refunds, replacement lunches, or pick up options will be given for missed days due to sickness or vacations.

Note that fall 2022 orders are closed. Communications for pizza and popcorn sales are sent out via weekly emails from the Principal and emails from your School Council. If you are not receiving emails, please contact [email protected] to make sure you are getting important information from the school.

Fridays (offered every second Friday, starting October 21st 2022)
Remaining days for 2023 April 21, May 5, May 19, June 2, June 16
Popcorn Orders are administered via pleasantpark.hotlunches.net. The access code is PPHL.

Popcorn does not have to be ordered for the term, and can be pre-purchased on our hotlunches site. You can order popcorn for each Popcorn Friday up to the Tuesday at 11 p.m. before the popcorn day. 

Same Day Purchase! Students also have the option to purchase popcorn on Popcorn Day by bringing in $2.50 to buy at the school instead of ordering online. However, cash sales on popcorn Friday are limited to what is left over, so pre-ordering reserves your bag and flavour.  

If there is a holiday or PD Day, we will do Popcorn Thursday. Popcorn will be left in the classroom for any student who is away and missed Popcorn Friday due to a sickness, vacation, etc. If you have any questions or issues with your hotlunches account, please email [email protected] with the subject line "Popcorn". 

Meal Service Frequently Asked Questions

1. When I order, do I have to list my child under their homeroom teacher?

All food orders are separated by the child’s homeroom teacher, therefore it is VERY important that you properly identify your child’s homeroom teacher. If you don’t know, please check with the school before completing your order. For JK parents who have a child in the class where the teacher is still to be determined, please select class “Junior Kindergarten teacher TBD” for now.

2. Can the food suppliers accommodate allergies?

Our suppliers are very careful to avoid the risk of cross-contamination of common allergens (like tree nuts, peanuts, and sesame) in food preparation and delivery. Parents with concerns about allergies can make a note on their order, and/or contact School Council at: [email protected]

3. Can I pay with cash or cheque?

We no longer accept cash or cheques. These payment options require significant volunteer time so parent council voted to move to online payment only. Therefore, you will notice there is no longer a PayPal fee. The current electronic payment system offers several secure ways to pay.

4. Are there nutrition guidelines for the food?

All food complies with the nutrition standards established by the Ministry of Education and Ottawa Carleton District School Board .  All suppliers are approved by the Board as well, and offer adapted menus that meet the nutrition standards. For example, this means that the pizza your child receives may have been modified from `restaurant-style` pizza to meet these guidelines (i.e. for limited fat and sodium levels). This year’s suppliers for Pizza is Pizza Pizza.
