Online Monthly Reporting

Delivery Schedules and Routes
Delivery Routes
Delivery Times
The schools are listed in order of delivery, so you can use that to approximate your delivery time, however, please allow for traffic, weather, and other unpredictable delays.
Delivery Location
At all schools, the food will be delivered to the main entrance (unless another arrangement has been made). FSP staff are not able to carry boxes into/ inside the school due to having to meet delivery deadlines each day.
Elementary Schools
At elementary schools, our drivers will use the buzzer to notify the office of the delivery.
Secondary Schools
At secondary schools without buzzer security systems, our drivers will call the school upon delivery, or otherwise signal school staff to notify that the food delivery has been made.
Empty Boxes and Milk Crates
- FSP re-uses banana boxes that food is delivered in to be efficient and cost-effective. FSP pays a deposit for milk crates to its vendor, so we require milk crates to be returned. Please arrange to store these until the next delivery day.
- In most cases, we will pick up the empty boxes and milk crates from the week prior on the day we deliver the food. Please have boxes outside and ready early on those days.
- In some cases, we will be picking up the boxes on an alternate day, due to space limitations in our delivery vehicles on delivery days. If this applies to you, please have your boxes outside, in a space protected by the elements if possible, no later than 11:00am
Download the current delivery schedule below and make note of your school’s delivery date and time. Delivery dates and times are subject to change and will be altered during short holiday weeks. Be sure to read your weekly email newsletter which will include any updates to delivery schedules.

NUTRITION AND FOOD SAFETY
Nutrition Guidelines
The Ontario Student Nutrition Program released new Nutrition Guidelines in August 2020 to align with the Canada Food Guide, 2019.
What Food Can I Serve
The type of food services that can be provided for a student nutrition program is dependent on the kitchen facilities available. To help you to determine the type of food service you can offer for your program, KFL&A Public Health has created this resource to guide your choice. Included are food safety guidelines for both food preparation and dishwashing.
