Lunch Protocols

Our school has the Federal Lunch program. The food is cooked daily and served for each individual student in disposable dish ware . On Wednesdays, lunch is given to students in lunch bags at their classrooms since all Wednesday are minimum days (12:30pm dismissal). Before receiving their lunch bag, the students sanitize their hands using the sanitizer dispensers in their classroom. At their classrooms they eat and relax until they are scheduled to be picked up by their parents according to their last name.

On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, the different Student Cohorts will receive their lunch at their classrooms. Students will sanitize their hands, get their individual lunch, and eat it at their seat. Students are given approximately 20 minutes to eat in their classroom. At the end of the 20-minute period, the cohorts go out to the playground following the designated routes to their correspondent playground areas. As each cohort moves from eating lunch to the playground, the cohort going out after will keep a distance of at least 25 ft of space away from the previous cohort. They are then given approximately 20 minutes to play at the end of which they are guided to the restrooms to use them or at the very least wash and/or sanitize their hands before they return to their classrooms.
