Lunch

There are several ways to pay for your lunches this year. Please use the method that works best for your family. You may combine all your children’s costs into one check or payment.

Lunch orders must be placed online by noon on the due date each month. Please be sure to check the weekly email and school monthly calendar for the due dates.

For Your Convenience… Lunch payments (or any school payments) can always be dropped off at the rectory office at the church. There is a mail slot in the office door, so payments may be dropped off even on weekends and evenings. Please be sure to put payments in an envelope and label them so that they can be correctly credited.

St. Francis School Latchkey Program

Latchkey is our before and after school care program at SFS. Through this program, our parents are able to drop their children off at school as early as 7:00 AM and pick up as late as 5:30 PM. Parents are charged fees for Latchkey which help to cover the cost of providing Latchkey services.

You do not have to “plan” to attend Latchkey. Services are always in place so that it is available when needed.
