Other Payment Options 

Payments may be made by sending a check directly to your child’s school after the start of the school year. When sending a check to the school, please attach a note or write in the memo your child’s name and what the check should be applied to.

Dietary accommodations are governed by both federal and state regulations. Those regulations and DaVinci Academy of Arts and Science procedures are summarized below.

Procedures

Regulations require that lactose reduced milk be made available to any student with a written request from a parent or guardian.   Medical Statement for Children with Lactose Intolerance Needs

All other requests for accommodations require a written statement from a licensed physician using the form below. The statement must include both the items the student cannot eat and the items that may be substituted for it. Although an annual update is not required, DaVinci Academy may request an updated document as needed. Return original, completed Special Diet Statement with a Disability   (requires a doctor’s signature) to the school nurse or Food Service Coordinator. 

• Special Diet Statement without a Disability (requires a doctor’s signature)

 

Please note:

Child Nutrition staff members are not trained medical providers and will never determine if a child can or cannot eat a particular item. That decision belongs only to parents, guardians or licensed medical providers. Parents or guardians are welcome to visit our kitchens and review the ingredient statements on labels at any time by making an appointment with the supervisor. However, ingredients may change at any time without notice by the manufacturer.

At DaVInci Academy we strive to make sure all students have their dietary needs met.  Through our catering company we are able to order vegetarian, gluten free and dairy free meals.

 All special ordered meals will need to be requested by families a week in advance.  To receive monthly and weekly emails for our ordering process please email jlryan@davincicharterschool.org
