September 26th
Good evening parents and guardians of the LTJH community,
Please take some time to read and review:
NS Lunch Program
On Monday, October 6th, the Nova Scotia School Lunch Program is starting in our school! You can start ordering lunches on September 26th.
Ordering Lunches
The ordering site is now open for orders!
You can go to www.NSLunch.ca, click “Order Now” and select Halifax Regional Centre for Education to order lunches.
You will be able to log into the system using your My NS Account or a student GNSPES account. If you do not have a My NS Account, the system can guide you in creating one.
You can then create or modify diner profiles. To do this, you will need to select your school and input your child’s name.
Once the diner profile is complete, you will be able to choose between two daily lunch options, place your order and access the confidential payment system.
If you experience any issues when ordering, you can reach out to lunch@hrce.ca or your region’s School Food Lead by creating a Support Request in the ordering system.
Thank you for taking part in the Nova Scotia School Lunch Program!
