Each student is required to have a completed Emergency Card on file in the campus office. This information is used when a student becomes ill or is hurt while on campus. Neither campus houses an infirmary, so the student must be sent home if unable to attend class. The school does not release students unless a parent, guardian, or designated adult has been contacted. In serious cases, students will be taken to the hospital and the parents notified. For this reason, it is imperative that the Emergency Card has up-to-date information.

The Extended Day Care program is more than a simple day care facility. Activities are carefully planned to enhance the school day learning experience. Special programs and activities are supervised by a well-trained, caring staff. Hours are from 2:40 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on school days. Registration for this program is done on orientation day. The student may be registered for regular use or for scheduled care. Due to limited space, registrations will not be accepted when the facility is full. The program operates on most school holidays as well. For information on rates and times, call the School Office. All Extended Day Care payments must be made to the Extended Day Director by the parents when picking up their child. This payment is separate from lunch costs or any other fees.

Elementary Campus: The elementary lunchroom provides a federally funded hot lunch program. Lunch tickets and milk-only tickets are available from the Cafeteria Supervisor. Each ticket contains five (5) lunches (including milk,) or five (5) cartons of milk. Parents may purchase the tickets directly from the cafeteria or they may send an order for tickets with their student. Please mark the envelope with the child’s name, classroom, and amount enclosed. Indicate which ticket and the number of tickets being purchased. Your child will notify you when he/she is out of tickets and there is a need to purchase more. Checks should be made out to Notre Dame Catholic School.
Special days with special menus occasionally occur during the school year to encourage parents to enjoy lunch with their child. We ask that food from restaurants not be brought into the cafeteria. Our school lunch personnel strive to serve a delicious, nutritiously balanced hot lunch. The lunchroom operates independently and we appreciate your support. Parents are also invited to meet their child for lunch on other days. There is a guest table reserved for parents and their child. You may also bring in lunch without notification to the cafeteria. If your child is celebrating a birthday, we ask that you do not bring a cake. Birthday cupcakes and other such individualized snacks are appreciated. There should be enough for the entire grade, since classes enjoy lunch together.
Middle/High School Campus: Students may purchase lunch on a daily cash basis, purchase a lunch ticket, or may bring a lunch from home. Lunches from restaurants brought in by parents or friends to be left for the student is not allowed. The closed-campus policy prohibits guests other than family members. When family desires to have lunch at school with their student, they must make this request at least one day in advance. Students who forget lunch money or their lunch from home will be allowed to phone home during break only for someone to bring it. Lunch menus including prices are posted. A variety of snacks, such as fresh fruit, cookies, and chips are available to supplement sandwiches or lunches from home. Permission in advance is required for any delivery of group lunches. All food deliveries must be left at the front desk.
