Miscellaneous Information regarding lunch:
•Students are not to consume energy drinks (i.e. Monster or Red Bull) on
the premises due to the health risks associated with them. Students are
not to share food or drink, as this is how illnesses are easily spread.
• Microwaves are available for student use (4th-12th grades); however cooking times should not exceed 3 minutes.
• The Principal will provide lunch schedules prior to the beginning of school (K-12).
• Lunches brought from home need to be user-friendly for all Lower
School students. Younger students (PK-3) need to be able to open lunch
items that are pre-cut, non-microwavable, and ready to eat. Teachers on
lunch duty cannot attend to unprepared items such as un-peeled oranges,
heating up leftovers, etc. as they are in a supervisory role during this
time.
• Lunch will be served in the school lunchroom. On occasion, this
facility will be used for special events. When these events occur, no
hot lunch will be offered (advance notification will be provided) or hot
lunch will be served from Building G.
• Students are expected to clean up behind themselves once they have
finished their lunch. Please keep in mind that most lunch breaks are
20-30 minutes in length, with multiple classes eating at the same time.
• Students must be supervised when using the microwaves (includes cleanup).
• Please do not send carbonated beverages with your child’s lunch.
• IMPORTANT: Please note, due to our costs of purchasing bulk foods,
unclaimed / uneaten lunches will not be refunded once orders have been
closed for a given month. This includes scheduling conflicts that were
communicated after the closing date (i.e., field trips or student
absences).
Lunch From Outside – Forgotten Lunches
• Parents are ALWAYS welcome to have lunch with their children.
However, because we do not have the manpower to take lunches to students
each day and because of the interruptions to classes, we will not
distribute take-out lunches or forgotten lunches to students on an
individual basis. Instead, a table will be set-aside in the E-Commons
where all outside/forgotten lunches will be placed. Please label any
lunch bags with the name of the student.
• If a student does not have a lunch, teachers will first check the table and then will send the student for a hot lunch.
• We discourage parents from picking up take-out food to bring to
students unless you are having lunch with them. If you do purchase food
for your child, do not purchase “some” for the whole class. This becomes
disruptive and some parents expect children to eat the healthy meal
they have sent.
