Lunch Program
Lunch is available for purchase through Escuela's caterers, Robin and Tom Day. They have been providing delicious, nutritious snacks and meals for Escuela families and staff since 1999 (thirteen years)! Her catering studio is conveniently located in the Harwood Art Center, a short walk across the Plaza between the school and Art Center.
Meals are a smorgasbord of wholesome, mostly vegetarian fare. Everything is prepared on site in Robin's Kitchen with breads and desserts baked daily. You are welcome to join your child for lunch anytime, just let the Days and your child's teacher know you are coming. Lunch may be ordered in advance or on an as-needed basis.
Come say hello! The kitchen opens by 7:45 every morning - fresh coffee, baked goods and breakfast burritos are also available for purchase, so stop by after you drop off your child. Robin also has delicious soups and stews available for takeout from the freezer - download the Takeout Menu for more information.
How to order Lunches
- Be certain you order before 9:00 am! (If your child is not signed up before 9:00 and there is not enough food, I can provide a cream cheese and honey sandwich and fruit.)
- Be sure I am aware of all food allergies or if your child is a vegetarian.
- Place all lunch orders directly with Robin. I rent the kitchen so I am actually being hired by you to feed your child.
- Envelopes are also available in the HOT LUNCH slot outside the primary classrooms. Just fill out the envelope and leave it there. I check the HOT LUNCH boxes between 9:30 and 10:00 am every morning.
- Please make checks payable to Robin's or Robin Day.
How to Pay for Lunches
Most parents pay for the month when they turn menus in. You may also choose to:
- Pay for a single lunch when it is ordered.
- Pay ahead for a certain number of lunches and call me when you want your child to eat.
- Order lunches as needed and pay the total at the end of the month. There will be a $4.00 service charge for giving you an invoice (you can take care of your accumulated tab at any time before the end of the month by contacting Robin for the total owed). Invoices need to be paid by the 15th of the following month. A 10% late charge will be assessed for each week after that.
Lunch Prices (include tax)
- Toddlers - $3.00
- Primary - $3.50
- Elementary - $3.75
Cancellation Policy
- Notify the kitchen of absences or cancellations by 9:00 to receive a credit. Please do not expect a credit if you have not cancelled lunch.
