Lunch Orders & Allergy-Aware Campus


Mrs. Osborne is our Lunch Coordinator and can be reached at SMCSlunch@saintmary.org.


Morrissey’s Catering provides lunches Monday through Wednesday. Pizza Express provides lunches on Thursday and Friday.


Families wishing to purchase lunches must register with Boonli, our online ordering system. New families may follow these Boonli Account set up instructions. Families already registered with Boonli must sign in and update their account each new school year. Usernames and passwords from the previous school year are still active.


Please remember that our campus is ALLERGY AWARE. We ask that no nuts of any kind be brought into the school for any reason. Foods sent in for snack, lunch, or any class event, including birthday celebrations, should be carefully checked to make sure they are nut-free. Remind children not to share food with other children while at school. This policy extends to snacks, lunches, and special treats. Need snack and treat suggestions? Click here or contact our Clinic Nurse team.


Clinic Reminders & Appointment Bookings


Parents/Guardians who have School Action Forms and/or Medication Forms to drop off may schedule an appointment prior to the start of school with the clinic nurses.


Please visit the Clinic Section of our website to download all School Health, Medication Administration, and School Action Plan Forms.


Reminder: A health form is required for the following students:

  • Students who are new to Saint Mary’s;
  • All Kindergarten students, even if they attended Junio-Kindergarten at Saint Mary's; and
  • 7th grade students (MenACWY and updated Tdap booster is required)


Any delay in submitting these forms prior to the first day of school will result in a delayed start for your student.
