St. Francis Elementry School, Private Catholic Elementry School, Sacramento, California

Students who wish to order lunches must order the Friday before the week of service. Order forms are sent home the week prior, and need to be returned, accompanied by cash or check, by the due date. Forms are distributed through the semi-monthly Wednesday evelope. Extra forms are available in Extension or in the paper file outside the office.

Receiving Lunch

A lunch order roster is sent to the cafeteria. Students who have ordered give their name when entering the cafeteria line. Cafeteria staff will check their name on the roster and give them their lunch. If your child has a food allergy, please be sure to make a notation on their order form so that cafeteria staff may monitor their lunch/salad bar selections.

Salad Bar with all the fixens' included with every lunch order!

Important Notes

No Refunds will be given for preorders. Please check your calendars carefully before ordering. Regardless of circumstances that may prevent your student from claiming his/her lunch, food will be ordered in accordance with the preorders received. Therefore, the school will not be able to give reimbursements if your child is ill, has an appt. etc. on a day that he/she has ordered.
For tracking purposes, all preorders must have an order form accompany the payment.
Preorders/payments are not accepted beyond the current form dates. If a child wishes to order for a later date, please wait until the form with the desired date is sent and pay at that time.
Parents are responsible for keeping track of the days their child has ordered.
Students with an unpaid balance due to a returned check will not be permitted to order again until the unpaid amount and accompanying charges have been received.
Families who qualify for Free or Price Reduced Lunches may order by sending a written request to the principal.

The Prayer of Saint Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is doubt, faith;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled,
As to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
