Reporting Requirements:
School Snack/Breakfast Programs
All student nutrition programs (snack, breakfast, morning meal, lunch) receiving provincial funding for nutritious food grants must submit data to respective Lead Agencies and/or community partners. We will ask you for a monthly report and a financial report.
NOTE:
It is important schools keep a separate ledger to keep track of the finances for their student nutrition program!
MONTHLY REPORTS
Each month, your designated Community Development Coordinator (CDC) will send you an email reminder to submit your monthly report. It is very simple and will only take a minute or two to complete online! It will include the following information:
1. The number of days you served a snack/meal in the previous month
2. The number of meals/snacks served
3. Donations- cash and/or in-kind
= 1 meal
Imagine you ordered breakfast in a restaurant and you only got an apple. You’d think to yourself, ‘that’s not a breakfast’! But if you got an apple with toast and a glass of milk, you’d know you got one complete meal. This is how you count your breakfast: 3 items = 1 meal.
= 1 snack
Even if a student only takes one apple, two items must be available each day of your program. So if you put out 20 apples and 20 cheese strings, that counts as 20 snacks served, not 40.

FINANCIAL REPORTS
You will be asked to submit a financial report. This must include all the expenditures (food/supplies purchased) and money earned (grants, donations, fundraising, etc.) for your student nutrition program.
