Re:  New lunch visitor procedures

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Our procedure has always been to allow parents and guardians to eat lunch with their children any time they choose to do so.  We have tried to manage this way of working with limited space in the cafeteria and surrounding area. We have to keep the safety of our students and personnel as our top priority.  Therefore, we are implementing some specific procedures beginning immediately.  

Parents and guardians will certainly still be allowed to eat lunch with their children, but we are putting the following schedule in place:

• ALL PARENTS WILL BE ALLOWED TO EAT LUNCH WITH STUDENTS ON FRIDAYS ONLY.

Visitors will still not be allowed on early release days.  If you choose to bring lunch for your child, you will be allowed to place the lunch on a cart inside the main hallway.   Lunches will need to be marked with your child’s name. Personnel will check the carts prior to the start of lunch. We will not call into classrooms to notify students.

We apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause.  Please know that we have given this great consideration, consulted with district leadership, and believe this change is in the best interest of our students, staff members, and the working environment of our campus. Thank you for your support and consideration.
