Fun Lunch

Frequently Asked Questions

The Roosevelt PTO offers a Fun Lunch program to offer students a ‘fun lunch’ twice per week (and give parents a lunch prep break!).

Our program is restaurant-based, meaning families can order a variety of meals from designated restaurants each week. Our partner delivers the lunches (each labeled with a student’s name) and these lunches are distributed to lunchrooms. Participation with Fun Lunch is voluntary.

How can I tell if I ordered Fun Lunch on a particular date?

There are 2 ways to check:

  • On the main Marla’s lunch page in the upper left corner of the ‘Welcome’ box is an option to ‘view/print orders. This will display a calendar view of what’s been ordered and can be printed if needed.

  • Also in ‘Welcome’ box there is the order area (Roosevelt 5 & 7, Roosevelt 6 & 8). Click on the ‘box’ for your child and a calendar will appear showing small numbers on the days an order has been placed.

    • Orange number: Number of orders than have been placed

    • Light blue number: Order has been placed in cart, but not completed

    • Red: No Fun Lunch that day

Can I order multiple lunches at a time?

YES! It may be most efficient for your family to order a month or a quarter at a time. You may make changes to your Fun Lunch order until the Wednesday before each week begins.

If your order is less than $15 (at one time), Marla’s system charges a $1 fee.

Order Changes or Cancellations

What if my child is absent from school on a day Fun Lunch was ordered?

You have two options:

  • Call the school office prior to lunch and arrange to pick up the lunch (often held in the front office)

  • Donate the lunch to a student or faculty member who doesn’t have a lunch

If you are aware of an upcoming absence and have already ordered, you may cancel the order up to the Wednesday before the week begins.

How can I change (or cancel) an order?

In the calendar view discussed above, click on the order and select ‘edit’ or ‘cancel.’ Keep in mind it must be before the lockout date (the Wednesday before the week begins). Once the colored circles become gray, they can no longer be changed.

If I cancel an order will I get a refund?

You will receive a credit in your account to be used on the next order. This credit will be automatically applied. Refunds are only given when a student leaves the school.

Who do I contact if I have questions, technical issues or a problem with one of my lunches?
