Lunch Visitor Policy Update
Parents,
To ensure the safety of all of our students, all lunch visitors will either need to be the parent/guardian of the student, be an emergency contact in Skyward, or have been approved by the parent/guardian to visit. To ensure a visitor is able to eat lunch with your student, it’s important that you check to make sure they are currently an emergency contact. If you do not want to add them as an emergency contact, you may contact your child’s teacher and/or the office prior to the day of their visit so that we are aware they are coming.
We appreciate your support in this matter. Should you have any questions or would like to add an emergency contact for your student, please contact Lara Mercer, 972-727-0560.
