HANC Lunch Program Frequently Asked Questions

 
1.   How do I order lunch for my child(ren)? 
If your child attends HANC ECC, go to  www.HANCECCLUNCH.com and log in. If your child attends HANC 609, go to  www.HANCPTALUNCH.com and log in.  If you have children in both schools you will need to place separate orders on both sites.

 
2.   How will I know what to do? 
The website is designed to be intuitive.  It will direct you.

 
3. Will my family's account be protected? 
Yes.  You will be instructed to enter a password so that only you can access your account. (When logging in for the first time your password is your last name.)
 
4.   What if I forgot my password or wish to change it?
To change you password, simply log in, go to "MY ACCOUNT" and click "Change my password".  If you forgot your password, enter your home phone number and click "Forgot password".  (When logging in for the first time your password is your last name.)

 
5.    What if my password does not work?
You may have the incorrect log-in.  (If you forgot your password, enter your phone number on the login screen and click "Forgot Password".)  It is also possible that your account may have been deactivated due to an outstanding PTA balance. Contact Stacey Radinsky at sradinsky@yahoo.com for clarification.

 
6.    How will I know what to order?
The site will display the entire menu.  Just click on the days and food items that you wish to order.

 
7.   How will I know how much I owe? 

 
The site will automatically tally the total bill for your family.

 
8.   How do I pay? 

 
All payments for the PTA Lunch Program will be processed through PayPal.  If you do not currently have a PayPal Account you can set one up at www.PayPal.com.

 
9.   Will there be an order deadline? 

 
YES! Please consult the school calendar for all deadlines.  A few weeks before each deadline, your child(ren) will be bringing home flyers containing all the information you will need.  Please be sure to check their backpacks.  This information will also be sent to the HANC email list.  

 
10. What if I want to change my order before the deadline? 

 
If you have inadvertently finalized your order while the ordering session is still open, you can cancel your order and start over. In this case, please contact Stacey Radinsky.  If you wish to order additional items you can create a separate order just for those items only.  DO NOT  reorder the original items or you will end up with a double order and be responsible for both payments.  (It would not be fair to expect the HANC PTA to pick up the tab for your error.)  Once the ordering session has closed, your order is irrevocable and cannot be changed.  Please note that if you finalize your order and then log back in, the menu screen will appear blank because the site is waiting to receive a new order.  If you are not sure whether you finalized your order, simply log on to the web site, click on "My Account", and then "View My Previous or Finalized orders" to check if your order appears there. 

 
11. What if I ordered twice by accident? 

 
You will be responsible for any duplicate submissions.  For this reason, we ask that you do not let your children submit orders; this can lead to errors. If you notice that you have an order that was unintended, please contact Stacey Radinsky at sradinsky@yahoo.com to remove the order. 

 
12. What if I forgot to order and the deadline has passed?
If you would like to place a new order after the ordering deadline has passed, a service fee of $18 per child (maximum $36 per family) will be charged.  Please contact Stacey Radinsky at sradinsky@yahoo.com for more information.

13. What if I want to check my order past the deadline? 

 
You will always have access to your account to remind you of what you have ordered.  Simply log in, go to "MY ACCOUNT" and click "View my finalized orders".

It's everyone's favorite time-- LICE CHECK. And now, introducing, NIT CHECK as well.

MANDATORY SCREENING FOR LICE AND NITS
FOR ECC AND 609 STUDENTS

Dear Parents,

Lice are tiny bugs, but they have posed a big problem. Every school on Long Island has had to deal with them and HANC is no different. Because our children are our number one priority, HANC has joined with other area yeshivot and public schools to enact a NO NITS POLICY.

 A NO NITS POLICY means that NO CHILD will be allowed into school unless he or she has been checked IN THE SCHOOL, and is found to be free of nits. A child who is found to have nits will not be allowed back into school until he or she is first rechecked by the school nurse. The child must return home if any nits are found during the recheck. Parents must be prepared to take home any child found to have nits.

In order to make this as easy as possible for our parents, we will be hiring trained professionals to come to our school and screen students on:

Tuesday, Sept. 2, 8:30-10:30 AM
and Wednesday, Sept. 3, 5-7 PM
HANC ECC - 240 Hempstead Avenue

There will be a ONE TIME CHARGE to help defray the cost of this service:
$10 per student (PTA member*)
$15 per student (non-PTA member)
*PTA Membership is $36

FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE
PAY BOTH MEMBERSHIP & LICE CHECK FEES
ONLINE VIA CREDIT CARD IN ADVANCE

Please mark your calendars with the locations and times of the screenings. Additional screenings will take place during regular school hours after Sukkot, mid-winter recess and after Pesach at no additional charge. Please try and wash your children's hair the night before a screening takes place. This makes the checking process run smoother.

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Nothing shows this better than last year's program, which checked over 500 children and prevented a widespread infestation by careful checking and monitoring.

The many parents who have had to struggle with this problem understand that this screening spares all of our families much inconvenience and expense.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Sincerely,
           HANC PTA Lice Committee          
Drorit Bench &  Sharon Koppel
