How does lunch work?

Lunch is eaten in students' classrooms -- either a packed lunch from home or hot lunch. Hot lunch is available through the Holland Christian Schools system. Students indicate their hot lunch choice upon arrival to the classroom each morning. The food is prepared right in our kitchen and served fresh to our students daily.

How do you handle food allergies?

We strive to keep students safe with life threatening food allergies and food sensitivities.  Managing food allergies and sensitivities can be accomplished through a partnership between parents, health care providers, and school staff.  In collaboration, all food accommodations will be made surrounding food allergies and sensitivities.   Please contact and connect with the kitchen leader and school nurse.
