Friday Hot Lunch Program

Our hot lunch program is run by parent volunteers who devote their time to make it a success.  We are always looking for new volunteers that can pop in to lend a helping hand.  We are grateful for any time you have to offer; if interested, please contact the PAC directly via email:  pacoceangrove@gmail.com

If you wish your child to participate in this program, annual online registration is required using the Hot Lunch link below.  There are no paper copies for ordering; all orders must be placed online.  There is no obligation to participate in this program - you may select as little or as much you would like.

Every year the hot lunch program is reset and wiped clean of account information.  This means that ALL FAMILIES (new and returning) must register their children each year before they can place their orders.

ALLERGEN WARNING: Please be advised if you have allergy concerns, we ask that you contact the restaurant for any questions or concerns. The restaurants do their best to ensure there isn't cross contamination when preparing food.

If Your Child is Absent on Hot Lunch Day

If your child is away on a hot lunch day, lunches will NOT be saved to hand out another day and refunds will not be provided. 

You have the option to phone the school before 10:30 am on the hot lunch day to request that your child's lunch be delivered to the office so that you may pick it up that afternoon.  If not picked up by 2:30 pm it will be discarded.  If you have not requested pick-up of your child's lunch it will be provided to another student in the school to enjoy that day.
