IMPORTANT CHANGES TO HOW YOU PAY FOR SCHOOL DINNERS

Please note that after Easter payment procedures for school dinners will be changing:

· PAYMENT WILL ONLY BE ACCEPTED ON A MONDAY.
· We are asking that parents decide and pay for the number of lunches their child would like at the beginning of each week.
· We prefer you to specify which days (but you can just state how many).
· You can still pay for the half term in advance on the first day (eg 3 days for 5 weeks = 15 meals).
· If you do not pay for dinners on a Monday, YOU MUST PROVIDE PACKED LUNCH FOR YOUR CHILD EACH DAY.
· If your child forgets a packed lunch we will ring you to ask you to bring it in.
· PAYMENT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED ON ANY DAY OTHER THAN MONDAY

We are advising you of these changes half a term early to enable you to get used to the process over the next few weeks, before we fully enforce the new system after Easter.
