Lunch Recess - Students will go outside during recess weather permitting. If the temperature is below 20 degrees, an inside option will be offered. If the temperature is below zero or if it feels like the wind chill is below zero, children will not be allowed out for extended periods. This decision is left up to the individual teacher's discretion. Please make sure that your child is dressed appropriately.

Lunchroom Procedures

Lunchroom Schedule

	(Eat first / Play first)
11 - 11:45 a.m.	1st Grade / 5th Grade
11:30 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.	Kindergarten / 2nd Grade
12 p.m. - 12:45 p.m.	3rd Grade / 4th Grade

Please note: Students are not able to bring gum, soda pop, chips, candy or junk food to school. A student may only bring in food to the lunchroom when they are bringing their lunch for the day.

To accommodate better supervision on the playground and provide enough time for our children to eat, some grade levels/classes will go outside for recess prior to eating lunch within their block.

Lunchroom Procedures

1. Enter the lunchroom quietly.
2. Keep hands and feet to yourself.
3. Use a 6 inch voice.
4. Use "please" and "thank you."
5. Dismiss in orderly fashion.
6. On good weather days, ALL students will go outside.
7. All food must be eaten in the lunchroom.
8. Students are to play cooperatively. Shoving, hitting, threatening or fighting will not be tolerated. These behaviors will result in loss of lunch recess.

We have implemented a "quiet lunch" program to ensure students are eating properly without making loud noises. Students are allowed to talk with the students that are at their table only. We encourage you to visit the lunchroom to understand better the importance of a neat and orderly environment.

Bathroom breaks are taken prior to lunchtime and will be scheduled and supervised by the classroom teacher.

STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS (examples - allergies, diabetes) will be accommodated when (and ONLY) documentation from a medical doctor is provided. The documentation shall include the student's name, diagnosis, special diet, allowable substitutions, doctor's signature and date.
