Lunch Visitors:
- Now that we have established our cafeteria and lunchtime routines and procedures, we are going to start having parent/guardian lunch visitors starting October 3rd!
- Lunch visitors are limited to parents/guardians and grandparents.
- All lunch visitors must check-in at the front office to get a visitor badge prior to lunch. ID is REQUIRED.
- Because we are limited on space, we need to adhere to the lunch visitor daily schedule:
- Mondays: ECSE, PK and 3rd Grade visitors
- Tuesdays: Kinder and 4th Grade visitors
- Wednesdays: 1st Grade and 5th Grade visitors
- Thursdays: 2nd Grade and 6th Grade visitors
- Because we are limited on space, we will have designated tables for visitors to sit with their students.
- ECSE, PK, and 1st Grade visitors will sit with their students at the far north tables of the cafeteria.
- Kindergarten visitors will sit at the table on the far east side of the cafeteria.
- 2nd – 6th grade visitors will sit with their students at the tables closest to the kitchen.
- Lunch visitors will sit with their student only. Lunch visitors may bring in lunch for their student only. We cannot bring lunch or treats to other students.
- Lunch visitors must join their students during their designated lunch times.
