Lunch Procedures

During lunch, parents are discouraged from bringing in outside food (such as meals or birthday treats) that is intended for a specific group of students. Outside food can inadvertently exclude students or cause a disruption.

During lunch shifts, students are expected to behave appropriately in the Commons. Students should follow these expectations:

• Be on time to lunch and choose a seat before the bell rings or sit in the student’s assigned seat.
• Staff members will give permission table by table for students to walk to the lunch line.
• Only touch what you are going to purchase.
• Go through the lunch line only if you are getting food or drink.
• Return directly to the same table. Students may not walk around the Commons to visit with other students.
• Get out of your seat only to go through the lunch line, throw away trash, or use the restroom.
• Dismissal from the Commons is done table by table. Exit the Commons quietly when your table is dismissed.
