Dining Services

Cafeteria Overview by Grade

Junior Kindergarten
Junior Kindergarten students are automatically enrolled in the Yearly Lunch Program as part of their enrollment in the school – teachers determine the food selection in consultation with the child and parents.

Kindergarten to Grade 5
Yearly Lunch Program
Kindergarten to Grade 5 may opt-in to the Yearly Program – families who wish to enroll must submit the Yearly Lunch Program registration form and, once enrolled, make their selections one week in advance at sagedining.com/sites/meadowridge. 

Meal Option (Or Pre-Ordering for Occasional Daily Meal)
Kindergarten to Grade 5 students may pre-order a lunch on a specific day without enrolling in the Yearly Lunch Program. Won't be able to make lunch for Mondays? Don't worry just pre-order lunch for those Mondays. You must register for SAGE Dining and submit orders the Thursday before by 3:00pm. Please note: There is no walk-up lunch cafeteria service for JK to Grade 5 students.

*New* Grade 6 to Grade 12
Lunch and snacks are available for purchase during the school day as well as before and after-school at the cafeteria for all students in Grades 6 to 12. This year, we are introducing a prepaid dining model and scannable Student Cafeteria cards for Grades 6 to 12 students to use for food purchases. We are excited to implement this new system for several reasons:

• Improved Convenience: By prepaying, your child has access to meals without carrying cash or worry about daily transactions.
• Financial Planning: You can budget more effectively by managing your child's cafeteria expenses in advance.
• Flexibility and Control: You have the flexibility to add funds to your child's account whenever it suits you best.

Under this new system, families will need to add funds to their children’s MyKidsSpending accounts in advance.

Menu & Availability Information

Lunch Combos are a fixed price, charged to students’ MyKidsSpending accounts, and will include:

Payment Options

Cheques and Cash (max. $200)
For personal cheques please make it payable to SAGE Dining, in the bottom left-hand corner of the cheque there is a place for a memo. In this space, please write the students full name FIRST, LAST or the students ID#. These cheques can be deposited in our safe drop box located to the right of the front doors to the school. You can also present this cheque or a one-time cash deposit of no more than $200 to any SAGE team member. They will provide a handwritten receipt for your deposit. 

MyKidsSpending Account
MyKidsSpending (MKS) enables parents to track their child's spending online and pay the balance. Click the link below and fill in the fields. You will need your child's student number, which can be found in your Meadowridge Hub Account. Please note a 4% deposit fee will be added to an online MKS payment. 

*New* To help avoid mistaken charges we have added the prefix PYP to all Kindergarten to Grade 5 student IDs for cafeteria use. You will need to register for your online ordering account using this new ID (Example: if you child's Student ID is 12345 please register using PYP12345).

Kindergarten to Grade 5 Annual Lunch Program Ordering
Families have an option to enroll in our Annual Lunch Program to receive a meal each school day. Each meal includes:

• Entrée (one main protein or vegetarian option)

Please note: No beverage is included. If no entrée selection is made then the meal will be a cheese sandwich (on whole wheat) with the two sides from that day.

Lunch Entree Selection

Families NOT on the Annual Lunch Program: 

Families wanting to order the occasional meal for their child(ren) will need to re-register for their online ordering account and MyKidsSpending account with the new Student ID prefix. Please add PYP if your child is in Grades Kindergarten to Grade 5 before your child's student ID to re-register for both accounts.

• Click here to re-register for online ordering.
• Click here to re-register for MyKidsSpending.

Pre-loading funds on student account required: To place an occasional order you will need to have funds on your child's cafeteria account. You can do this via MyKidsSpending or by dropping of a cheque or cash at the school cafeteria.

We are excited to announce a more convenient and efficient way for students to pay for meals on campus. For the upcoming 2023/24 school year, we are introducing a scannable cafeteria card for students in Grades 6 to 12 to use for food purchases. Under this new system, families will need to add funds to their children’s accounts in advance. We are excited to implement this new system for several reasons:

• Improved Convenience: By prepaying into the cafeteria accounts, your child has access to meals without the need to carry cash or worry about daily transactions.
• Financial Planning: The prepaid model allows you to budget more effectively by managing your child's cafeteria expenses in advance.
• Flexibility and Control: You have the flexibility to add funds to your child's account whenever it suits you best, making it easier to ensure they always have access to nutritious meals.

Adding Funds
To add funds to your child's cafeteria account, you have two convenient options:

1. By Cheque: You can drop off a cheque payable to SAGE Dining in the drop box located outside the main office doors. Please clearly indicate your child(ren)'s full name and grade level on the back of the check to ensure payments are applied correctly to their accounts.
    
2. Load Funds Online: Via the MyKidsSpending website, families can easily add funds using their credit card by following the simple instructions to securely upload funds.

Grade 6 to 12 students will receive their personal Student Cafeteria Cards in their Advisory class on the first day of school.
