GO COUGARS!!
Come enjoy lunch with your student at Wauka Mountain!!
Please arrive 5 minutes prior to your student's lunch time to allow time to check in at the office
Details and Sign-up link below
Beginning on 9/5 we are excited to be able to welcome family members to eat lunch with their student on select days. We ask that the following guidelines are observed:
Each student will be limited to 2 guests. Each guest must have ID, and at least 1 guest must be listed in the student's Infinite Campus profile as an approved contact (ie; household member or other approved contact); you may check this information via parent portal.
Guests must check in at the front office and wait to meet their student there.
Please send a note with your student that day to give to their teacher.
Eating areas will be outside, and subject to weather. Guests will not be allowed to eat in the cafeteria, though they may go through the line and get a tray.
Due to safety and available space, we will limit the number of overall students that may have guests to 3 or 4 per grade level per day. Guests must sign in using THIS LINK . If a date is not available, it is because all of the available slots have been taken at that time.
Due to the limited availability of slots to join your students at lunch, please do not sign up for multiple or consecutive dates at one time. This will allow more people to enjoy this time with their students.
Your student will need to come back to the front office after lunch, and we will return them to class. Guests will not be able to walk there student back to class.
Lunch & Snack Note - Please do not send your students with carbonated sodas for snack or in their lunchboxes. Sugary or caffeinated beverages are strongly discouraged
Car Rider Drop off
Unless you have received prior approval from Wauka Mountain administration, please do not drop off your student in the bus lane or in front of the school.
Car riders will enter campus from HWY 52 to Dinnan Drive, and follow the road around the field to the drop off area (Yellow highlight in the picture).
After 7:45, or when checking a tardy student in, please use the front office entrance.
Students need to be in the building by 7:45 to avoid being marked tardy
The "Wauka Way"
Teachers and students are working hard together to establish and practice the "Wauka Way." These are clear and common expectations for all students as they go throughout their day!
