In order for our students to learn the routines and procedures, our campus will be closed to lunch visitors until Aug. 26th. From Sept. 16-20, lunch visitors will be reserved for Grandparents only (There is a sign up genus for during this time). Lunch visitors will be open to all visitors beginning August 26.
We have limited space and the tables are set up outside the cafeteria in the hallway designated for lunch visitors. Only you and your child will be able eat at the parent/student tables. No friends allowed. Lunch guests will need to bring their own lunch.
All visitors will need to check in with the office using their valid driver's license or government issued ID.
When your child's lunch time is over, visitors will need to come directly to the office and check out. For safety and security reasons, parents cannot follow students to their classroom or the playground.
In order for all parents to have the opportunity to eat lunch with their child, we ask that you limit your lunch visits to 2 times per student per grading period.
There will be some dates that our campus will be closed for lunch visitors due to events or changes in schedules. These will be communicated through Parent Square and your child's teacher.
