New lunch ordering system

Autumn/Winter School Lunch Menu

From 19th October 2015, a new band system will be introduced for children who have school dinners.

Each morning in class, the children will select their dinner from a choice of a Main Meal (Option 1), Hot Snack (Option 2), Baked Potato (Option 3) or Snack2Go (Option 4). They will be given a coloured wristband to co-ordinate with this choice.

This system ensures children get their first choice of main meal.

The new school menu will be sent home tomorrow, which will be on a rolling 3-week basis. Your child can see what is on the menu in advance for each coloured band. Please take the time to plan ahead with your child so that they know what they would like to order in the morning.

Each meal comes with a choice of soup or desert or fruit and yoghurt, which the children will also pre-order with their meal selection.

Children from P4-7 who want the Snack2Go option must visit Breakfast Club to place their order.

Every week, the lunch menu will also be posted on the school Twitter feed (@staneprimary) and is also emailed to anyone who has subscribed at http://bit.ly/stane-email

What’s on Week Beginning Monday 5th October 2015

General Information

The Primary 7 children will be attending Kilbowie Outdoor Centre in Oban this week.

A new member of staff, Miss Murphy is joining the team this week as Additional Needs Assistant cover on a Tuesday/Wednesday and Auxiliary duties on a Monday and Thursday.  Welcome to the team Miss Murphy!

From October 19th, the dinner hall will be introducing a Coloured Band system to allow the children to order their lunch choice in the morning. This has been successfully been rolled out across the authority. It ensures that the children get exactly what they want for school lunch. A separate information letter will be sent home, along with the menu for next term.
