In your child's first week you will be given an activation letter to enable you to set up your ParentPay account. It will contain your personal activation username and initial password. During the activation process you will be guided through changing your password to something more memorable. You can also merge your accounts if you have more than one child at the school. Your child can have school dinners while your account is in the process of being activated.
Snacks
The children are encouraged to bring a healthy snack and drink for the morning break time. We recommend that water is brought as juice can have a detrimental effect on teeth, especially when drunk from a “sports top” bottle.
Dinners
There are nutritionally well balance school dinners provided for children who want them. Alternatively, a packed lunch can be brought in from home. The School Meals Service provide a menu with a choice of two main courses which is chosen at registration time each day. A copy of the menu is distributed twice per year and can be downloaded from the link above
Meals must be paid for in advance by using Parent Pay cash or a cheque made payable to the Isle of Man Government. You can pay for the meals on a weekly or half termly basis. If your child is absent we shall credit you with the appropriate amount. Please enclose the payment for dinners in a sealed envelope clearly marked with your child’s name.
If you wish to change lunchtime arrangements please give the school at least a 1 week period of notice.
Children bringing in packed lunches should have a suitable box/bag to carry their lunch in with their name clearly marked on it. Glass bottles and fizzy drinks are not permitted in school.
SPECIAL DIETARY REQUIREMENTS
If your child has special dietary requirements then the medical information must be passed to school who will forward it to the school meals service.
FREE SCHOOL MEALS - You may wish to find out if your child qualifies for free school meals under the government’s scheme. This process is confidential in that teachers, children and dinnertime staff do not know who is receiving them. They are applied for annually and does not mean that your child is obliged to have a cooked meal, merely that they are available to them as soon as they choose to have a hot meal.
Snacks
The children are encouraged to bring a healthy snack and drink for the morning break time. We recommend that water is brought as juice can have a detrimental effect on teeth, especially when drunk from a “sports top” bottle.
