LUNCH GUEST & OUTSIDE FOOD POLICY:

NOTE: COVID restrictions means that parents and other guests who wish to dine with their PPCA students should obtain prior approval with PPCA Administration.

For security reasons, all guests must report to the building secretaries upon arrival and register with them for a Guest Pass/name badge. A driver’s license or other form of ID may be required by building secretaries.

After lunch, guests should return directly to the office to log out before leaving campus. Guests should not accompany students to other locations on campus after visiting with them at lunch.

Due to students having food allergies, no outside food delivery is permitted without prior approval of administration via building secretaries.

THE LUNCH TICKET:

As PPCA’s food service since 2016, The Lunch Ticket is known for offering lunches that are made fresh each day, along with snacks and drinks that are available during break for secondary students. Ice cream treats, candy, and extra milk are offered for purchase above the daily meal cost.

The Lunch Ticket also makes meals available to PPCA students who are enrolled in Crusader After School Care and Summer Care.

PPCA families must register via a lunch account through www.myschoolaccount.com.

Students are identified through finger scanning and individual numbers assigned to accounts.

Funds should be placed regularly into student accounts.

Families may set up alerts to their accounts, so that emails will automatically be sent to them to indicate when their students’ accounts fall short of a preselected amount.

MENU OPTIONS:

The Lunch Ticket uploads monthly menus to the PPCA website and families may pre-select their lunches via their students’ accounts.

Secondary students enjoy a snack break mid-morning when The Lunch Ticket offers many options for sale, including chicken and sausage biscuits.

Each day, PPCA students, faculty, and staff are offered a regular hot lunch or alternate combo meal, such as chicken tenders, nuggets and/or strips with french fries or potato wedges.

At least once a week an international meal is offered, such as a Mexican “happy plate” or sweet & sour chicken w rice.

Nearly every week there is one day which features “Southern comfort food” such as ham with macaroni and cheese or steak fingers with mashed potatoes and fried okra.

Other options include BBQ chicken wings and baked potatoes.

The Lunch Line Ladies, l-r, Olivia, Patti, and Tracie, lovingly serve PPCA’s faculty, staff, and students.

The Lunch Ticket also provides specialty items occasionally such as fried pickles or sweet potato fries.

Fridays are known as “Pizza Day” when freshly made cookies are the day’s dessert.

Other homemade desserts have been cheesecake bites, brownies, and rice krispie treats.

Popular among the elementary students is the weekly “Breakfast Day” which is usually served on Thursdays.

Breakfast for lunch options may be chicken & waffles or french toast sticks with hash browns.

Since the middle and high school students may purchase breakfast items during their mid-morning break, an alternative lunch is available to them on Breakfast Day.

They may alternatively choose burgers, sandwiches, and/or (seasonally) soup on Breakfast Day, in addition to the baskets of chicken and fries.

Freshly made garden salads, grilled chicken/fried chicken salads are also available to students, faculty, and staff who pre-order them.

Students may also bring lunches from home but must follow the lunchroom rules set forth by the administration and in the Student Handbook regarding microwave use, glass bottles, soft drinks, etc.

The Lunch Ticket uses fresh ingredients when preparing meals.

All salad dressings, soups, breads, rolls, desserts and breaded items are made daily in the school kitchen by trained staff.

These items are never shipped in as pre-made or frozen.

Lethon Bell is The Lunch Ticket’s Grill Chef for PPCA.
