Lunch Details & Program Info

 

At San Tan Charter School, we aim to provide a fun and healthy environment for lunch. We are not a typical school with a standard cafeteria program; instead, we offer a hot lunch catering program unique to each school. Please see the link below to register for your school’s hot lunch program.

San Tan Charter School Is A Nut Free and Low Sugar School.  For full details, see our Nutrition Policy.

Following the Montessori philosophies on which STCS was founded, we view lunchtime as an opportunity for students and teachers to enjoy lunch together while maintaining a peaceful eating environment and practicing mutually respectful communication outside the classroom setting.

ALL NEW and RETURNING FAMILIES must re-register at the beginning of each school year if you wish to utilize the program. Once set up, you create your kiddos’ menu, make payments within the system, and the meals are delivered right to the school.

No Nuts Policy

San Tan Charter School acknowledges and understands that additional food and environmental allergies exist and affect our community members. The target of this policy is to support our students who have life-threatening responses to nuts.

In order to comply with the U.S. Americans with Disabilities Act and to keep those students with a deadly form of nut allergy safe at school, San Tan Charter School is a nut free school.  Any foods containing nuts, or any other form of peanuts or tree nuts, are not allowed on school grounds.

No peanut or tree nut sandwiches, granola bars containing nuts, trail mixes containing nuts or nut powders, other snacks containing nuts or any other form of peanuts or tree nuts are permitted on school grounds.

Due to the growing number of students who have been diagnosed with food allergies such as peanut allergies, which can be fatal to some, we ask that you be mindful of the existence of food allergies among children and discourage sharing of snacks or lunches.  Sharing food at school is strictly prohibited.

The following nuts are not allowed on campus:  Peanuts, Almonds, Cashews, Beechnuts, Brazil Nuts, Chestnuts, Hazelnuts (NO Nutella), Macadamia Nuts, Pecans, Pistachios, Shea Nuts, Walnuts
