Lunch Visitors
- Lunch visitors will be allowed on campus on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
- ONE parent or guardian per student will be allowed.
If a parent or guardian wants someone else to come visit for lunch, the parent must send a note to school each time with the child stating who is allowed. The receptionist is not able to track down notes. Please ask your child to give the note to their teacher so the note can get to the front office before the child's lunch. If the receptionist / front desk does not have the note, the visitor will not be allowed entry.
Lunch Rules:
Maximum one guest (parent or guardian) per student.
Students may not invite a buddy to eat lunch.
Parents may bring lunch for the student. However, parents may not drop off fast food if they’re not eating with the child.
Parents may not talk on their cell phones during lunch. They may however take a selfie with their child (no other students).
Parents must remain in the foyer until it is time for their child’s lunch.
Children must return to their seats with their class five minutes before lunch ends.
