Nutrition Program

**BEGINS SECOND WEEK OF SCHOOL**

The Downtown Vocal Music Academy offers a Nutrition Program to all students.  Our Nutrition Program follows the Healthy Eating Guidelines as outlined by the TDSB and Public Health and consists of Breakfast, Snack and Lunch.  Breakfast and Lunch are optional. 

Snack is served to every child daily.  We rely on Parent Contributions to keep this program running. 
The program is cancelled if sufficient funds are not received to support this program.

For more information on each section of the program, please read below.

Breakfast

Breakfast is served hot daily from 8:15am-8:45am.  In addition to the hot portion of the menu items such as cereal, juice, yogurt, fruit and milk are also offered.  Fee is $0.50/day/child.  This is an optional part of our program, however any donations towards it help keep the program running. 

Snack

Snack is served around 10am every day in your child's classroom.  Snack consists of 2 food groups; Fruit and Dairy or Fruit and Grain.  Please note that all students receive snack daily.  As part of our funding requirements, we must feed each child daily.  We request parent donations of $0.50/day/child to help contribute to the cost of this program.  However, even $5.00 per month goes a long way in keeping students healthy and energized for the day. *Not Optional*

Lunch

Lunch is offered and cooked on site.  A hot lunch is served daiily for a fee of $4.00/day/child. Chilren may not participate in this program unless fees are up to date.  All food is Halal and we try to serve a variety of food to suit all students tastes.

Lunch Time Policies

Students who are not in Grade 7 or 8 are not allowed to leave the school property during lunch.  If your child is in Grade 4-6 please enrol your child in the Nutrition Program or send your child to school with a lunch.  Lunch is supervised in the cafeteria until 12:00pm at which time students then go outside for exercise and socialization and are supervised in the school yard until the bell rings for afternoon classes. 

We do understand that special occasions arise.  If you wish for your child to go off school property for lunch and your child is not in Grade 7 or 8, please provide a written notification to the office.  Your child will be expected to check in at the office before leaving for lunch and again when they return to the school grounds.  Ample time is given within regular lunch hours for your child to visit a restaurant, eat and be back to school on time.  If your child is off property at lunch and returns late to school we will insist that your child call you upon returning to inform you of their tardiness.
