Instructions For Online Hot Lunch Program
On-line Registration & ordering
Welcome to another wonderful start to the new school year. The Winfield School Parent Council/Fundraising Committee runs a fantastic hot lunch program for our students and staff. It is used as a fundraiser for the school, to provide funding for some of the items listed on the previous letter from the Parent Council. We use parent volunteers and prepare hot lunches every Thursday at reasonable costs to the students
The Winfield School Parent Council/Fundraising Committee made the decision last year to move to an online ordering system for our fabulous hot lunch program, and it saved our volunteers countless hours in organizing the lunches for our school. Please follow the directions outlined below to register your students. This will be done for all students, each year as we remove all the previous Users, this allows for updated setup each year.
Here’s How:
- Go to http://winfieldschool.parentcouncil.net
- Click the "REGISTER" menu at the top right-hand corner to sign up.
- Enter your name, email address and phone, then a user id that you will use for access to the hot lunches application. Enter a password and then enter it again to verify that it is correct.
- Once registered, you will be logged into the website
- Please add your students by clicking on the "STUDENTS" button below or the "PROFILE" menu tab in order to proceed. Once your students have been added to the system you will be able to place lunch orders immediately by clicking the "Order" button below each child's name.
IT’S THAT EASY!
Not participating in hot lunch? We encourage you to register even if your child does not participate so that you are able to receive emails and reminders from the Home & School.
As in past years, you may place an order for any or all lunch dates, and paper order forms will still be accepted. A supply of paper forms is available in the office. You must special request if you require one, please send a note in your child’s agenda.
You may pay online by credit card through Bambora, you will enter your credit card information on the website, you do not need a Bambora account to pay with this method. They are similar to PayPal, but are located in British Columbia, all data is kept in Canada. Bambora is recognized worldwide, and are more secure than any other payment gateway, with fees that are lower than PayPal, there will be small transaction fees added to your order if this is your payment method. E-transfer to wsfctreasurer@outlook.com, cheque and cash are accepted forms of payment. If you choose to pay by cash or cheque, payable to Winfield School Fundraising Committee, please make sure to place in a well labeled ziplock or sealed envelope, these payments will all be manually added to your online account by the Hot Lunch Coordinators. All orders and payments must be received in a timely fashion, so that orders can be processed on time, and the volunteers are able to plan and prepare their hot lunches.
(Please note: don’t combine your milk money with hot-lunch money.)

Remember, late orders will not be accepted. The parent volunteers greatly appreciate you working with this new system, it will mean much less administration for the hot lunch program. There are also opportunities to volunteer with the lunches. The option is available on the order form as a check box. Maximum volunteers are set for each hot lunch, and after the spaces are filled, the system will not allow any further volunteers to register, so if you are interested, please make sure to submit your orders soon. Our volunteers need time to shop and plan for the appropriate number of portions. You can always call or text Carolyn at 780-234-4300 if you have any problems. If you are interested in hosting a hot-lunch or helping with a hot-lunch, give us a call/text. We are always happy to train new parents! If you have any questions about this form or have any ideas that you want to see on the menu please text us, we are happy to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Schwindt and Marla Wheale
