HEALTH AND TASTY DINER

Dear parent,
Welcome to your new cafeteria service we lovingly call the Healthy ’n’ Tasty Diner. We have several important
announcements to make in regards to your children’s meal plans while at NOVA:

• As an elementary and middle school parent, you have the option to pack lunches and snacks for your child every
  day.
• All children in the elementary school (PK‐ 4) cannot buy food themselves, as we believe they are too young to
  handle money.
• If you do decide to use our Healthy’n’Tasty services, you have to subscribe to either one of our two options:
  monthly or semester‐long meal plans.
• Have a look at the menu attached; all foods are selected based on their nutritional value and health factor. Soda
  drinks, chocolates, foods with preservatives or high concentration in HFCS (high‐fructose corn syrup) are
  excluded.
• In addition to warm meals, a limited number of ‘al a carte’ foods items can be obtained from our Diner
  throughout the day, also included in the menu attached.
• We will implement meal credits later this year, and we hope that your children can use meal cards to debit their
  meal accounts, alleviating the need for advance purchases.
• Until then, please use the order form attached to this letter to (also available from your Edline account):
  • a. Make daily choices of meals on behalf of your child (starting October, every day of the month our Diner
    will offer a unique choice of foods, as well as a number of ‘a la carte’ items).
  • b. Select what meal plan you would like to purchase;
  • c. Submit the form back to us along with payment latest by Wednesday, September 1.
• Please note that soups will be added to all children’s meal plans beginning October 1.
• Our Diner services are available to all parents as well. To invite your feedback, we will also organize food sampling events for parents, as well as an afterschool cooking club for anyone interested.

Again, we are very proud to introduce our healthy and tasty changes to our service. We wish your family a healthy and delicious school year.

Kindly,

Healthy’n’Tasty Dining Staff
