ONLINE LUNCH ORDERING

Lunch orders are available on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

The online ordering process is up and running.

Please log in to QKR and follow the steps.

Lunch orders are all on line. Orders must be placed by 8:30 a.m.

** Please ensure that you are selecting the correct date for your orders. **

LUNCH ORDER ERRORS

We are all enjoying the new Qkr online ordering system from AJ’s Bakery for lunch orders.

We are finding, though, that user error (not following all the steps or selecting the wrong day) is resulting in children are not getting lunch orders. This in turn requires office staff to make lunches for your children. As you can imagine, this is an extremely time consuming and costly effort.

Any orders that are missed will be charged $2 per sandwich. A note will be sent home with your child(ren).

If you are unsure if you have placed your order correctly, you can view the receipts in the Qkr App. You can even get these receipts e-mailed to you.

When ordering lunches, please ensure that:

The correct date is selected.
You have followed all of the necessary steps to complete your order.

Thank you for your co-operation.

THE JAPANESE WORD OF THE FORTNIGHT

ありがとう　(pronounced ‘aligatoh’) which means ‘Thank you’, is the Japanese Word for Week 3 and 4 of Term 1. You can simply use ‘ありがとう’ (‘aligatoh’) instead of ‘Thank you’ whenever you want to thank someone.　Please note ありがとうございます (pronounced ‘aligatoh gozaimas’ ) is more polite than ありがとう. Thank you / ありがとうございます(aligatoh gozaimas) for your continuing support for our Japanese program.
