Change coming in January--- Cafeteria Lunch Procedures
We are going to try something new for Parr beginning in January for lunch dismissal procedures. Check with your team lead or character team rep with questions.
- 2-3 minutes before lunch ends cafeteria monitors will have students throw away trash and remain seated at the table.
- Teachers will pick students up from the table at the end of lunch and line them up to dismiss. (Please be on time as there is another class coming in right behind you for lunch.)
- 1st-5th will still have students as wipers/ sweepers.
It is the hope that there will be less trash on the tables/ floors and that have teachers pick students up from the lunch table will decrease the behaviors that are occurring while students are lined up by the exit doors. Thank you for your flexibility and willingness to try something new.
January-- Duty rotations change! Please be sure you know where you are headed and that your team has talked together about procedures so that everyone knows what is expected. Please remind students to be quiet at bus dismissal. The gym is pretty noise!
**Morning 7:45 a.m. duty-- please be at your duty spot right at 7:45 to ensure students are supervised. If you are running late please text Jen and Christina.
Please talk to your students(especially boys) about locking the doors in the bathroom and crawling under. It is the bathroom by the library. Thanks!
You're so close--- keep kids engaged and your procedures tight to minimize behaviors this week! Be proactive- where can you building in movement/ more breaks this week?
