○      Parents or guardians who wish to eat lunch with their child must notify the school office at least 24 hours in advance. This allows us to make the necessary arrangements and ensure there is adequate space.

○      Upon arrival, all visitors must check in at the front office, present a valid photo ID, and receive a visitor’s badge. This badge must be worn at all times while on school grounds.

○      Parents and their child will be seated in a designated area to ensure minimal disruption to the normal lunchtime routine. We kindly ask that parents do not invite other students to join them.

○      We ask that all visiting parents and guardians maintain a respectful and positive environment. Please follow all school rules and model appropriate behavior for all students.

○      To protect students with food allergies, we ask that parents refrain from bringing food items that may contain common allergens such as peanuts or tree nuts. If you are unsure about a particular food item, please consult with the school nurse or office staff.

○      After lunch, parents should escort their child back to their classroom’s designated area before returning to the front office to sign out. We ask that parents leave promptly after lunch to allow the school day to continue without interruption.

●      Classroom celebrations should align with school policies and promote a positive learning environment.

●      Celebrations should be planned with the teacher's approval and ensure that all students feel included.

●      Healthy snacks and treats are encouraged for classroom celebrations.

 

Students are expected to arrive on time and be prepared for class.
