Lunch orders are typically due on the 26th of each month unless the 26th falls on a weekend or a school closing. All lunch order due dates are available on the SLA website calendar. If your child does not order lunch from the cafeteria, he/she must bring a lunch from home. Lunch order forms may be viewed and printed from the cafeteria menu on the website at www.slanc.org.

A late fee of $5 is incurred when the account is not paid by Monday of the week following when services were rendered. After School Care fees will be added for each week that a past due balance remains on the account.
