LUNCH PROCEDURE
At the beginning of the year, if you have pre-paid and put money on your child’s lunch card, please put a note in the green folder each day letting me know they are getting a hot lunch. This will be helpful to me and your child because they often don’t understand the difference between hot lunch/cold lunches at the beginning of the school year. It will be one less thing for them to worry about. When sending money for any reason, please do the following:
Put any money sent to school in a sealed envelope with your child's name and what it is for. Then put it in your child's green take home folder folder. Please discuss with them that they should not open it.
We have awesome paraprofessionals who help the students get comfortable going through the hot lunch line. They will also help the children with opening up things. In the past, some of the students have had a lot of anxiety about the lunchroom, but it always disappears after a few weeks. As with anything, it takes time for your child to adjust. You can talk about it at home and continue practicing opening the different items they might be bringing for lunch independently. A few classroom discussions will also help.
