New to Carson?
What's a PAC, anyway?
Every public school in BC has a Parent Advisory Council. If your child goes to Carson, you're a member. No dues, no forms.
We fund the extras
Field trip buses, classroom supplies, playground gear and special events the school budget doesn't cover.
We run the fun stuff
Hot lunches, the fun fair, movie nights, staff appreciation week and the year-end celebration.
We give parents a voice
Monthly meetings with the principal, plus a seat at the Quesnel District PAC (DPAC).
Hot Lunch
Skip the lunch packing a few days a month
Every hot lunch raises money for Carson. Menus meet BC school nutrition guidelines.
Create your account
One account per family. Add each child and their classroom.
Order before the deadline
Orders close at 9:00 pm, four days before each lunch. Late orders can't be added.
Lunch arrives at school
Volunteers deliver meals to classrooms at noon. Upcoming lunches always show on the Coming up board.

| Fri, Oct 2 | Pizza Day Cheese or pepperoni, fruit, milk | Open |
