Lunch Program
Lunches may be brought from home. Cafeteria supervisors receive health department training and the kitchen is inspected and licensed annually. Younger children should have containers that do not require adults to open due to the limited amount of time and the number of children that require help. No microwave or refrigeration is available for lunches brought from home. Parents should send all necessary utensils and napkins.
Hot lunches are available daily. Menus are sent home monthly. Students receive a peanut butter and jelly or cheese sandwich and chips if they forget their lunch and are charged according to their age group. They do not receive hot lunch. If a student frequently forgets his/her lunch, parents will be contacted. Two soft drink machines are available for the older children to buy drinks if given permission by their parents.
Students are expected to follow the lunchroom guidelines and obey the lunch monitor. Parents have requested that the students remain quiet during the first part of lunch so that they will eat and not talk to their friends. After the quiet time, students should speak at a moderate level and not yell.
Students must eat lunch or the parent will be contacted. Students are responsible for placing all garbage in containers prior to their dismissal. The older students in the last lunch period assist with putting up the chairs.
Parents, siblings, and grandparents, etc., may visit students at lunch. If eating in the lunchroom, they should only eat with their children. If they eat outside, the student may invite one friend. No student may play on the playground equipment until the entire class goes out for recess under the teacher’s supervision. If siblings visit, the younger child should remain with the parent. The older child and his fellow student should not be expected to supervise the sibling. Please place all garbage in the trashcans.
