Character Lunches
Our Character Lunches for the month of October will be Wednesday, November 6th, during your child's normal lunch time. You are welcome to bring in an outside lunch for you and/or your child but if you would like to order a lunch tray for yourself, please let your child's teacher ASAP.
We would like to remind our families that the private dining room will be closed on this day due to the Character Lunches. If your child will need a lunch, you may still drop it off for them in the front office. The private dining room will re-open on Thursday, November 7th.
If you will be joining us for this celebration below are a few reminders:
1). You will need to have your ID to check into the front office and obtain a visitor’s sticker.
2). The Parent Dining Room is located across from the cafeteria in the first room on the right in the 3rd/4th grade “green” hallway.
3). Please wait for your child in the Parent Dining room or in the space in front of the cafeteria doors. Please DO NOT walk to the classroom or peek into the windows as this can cause a disruption in the learning that is occurring.
4). Please do not take any photographs or videos of any child(ren) other than your own.
5). Please adhere to the times that are listed on the board so that your child is able to participate in their physical activity time.
6). Please clean up your lunch space.
7). Please do not go onto the playground unless given specific permission from an administrator.
8). Please exit and check out through the front office.
We look forward to seeing you!
