To the best of our ability everyone has been assigned some days in their own child’s class. If a change in the calendar is necessary, new assignments will be issued. However, a new assignment may not be in your child’s class.

Should you be unable to come for lunch duty, please call the school office between 7:30AM and 8:00AM. If for some reason you will be unable to take any lunch assignment during the school year you will be expected to pay a substitute, $5.00 per day, by September 1st. Please mark your envelope “LUNCH PROGRAM”. We would like this information as soon as possible so that we will be able to reschedule before school opens. For your convenience please use the tear off slip at the end of this letter.

Those who do not wish to participate in the lunch program are asked to take their children home for lunch daily. No exceptions will be made in this matter.

In order to ensure the safest possible environment for all children may I ask you to please observe the following guidelines:

Please sign in upon arrival (on the sheet on the wall in the cafeteria) and report to your assigned class (in the cafeteria/or playground). Supervision begins at 11:45 AM and ends at 12:45. PUNCUTALITY IS IMPORTANT FOR THE SAFETY OF YOUR CHILDREN.

In the cafeteria please supervise the needs of the children in your care (assisting with garbage disposal and making sure each child
stays in their seat and sits properly and safely in their seats). Please remember, we may never leave your children unsupervised, thus when you are tardy, faculty lunch time is reduced.

Grades K-4 upon leaving the cafeteria, PLEASE LEAD YOUR CLASS OUTSIDE TO THE PLAY AREA. The children are not to go onto the play area until the majority of older children have left this same area.

When there is indoor recess children may not enter classroom before an adult is present in that room

WHEN OUTSIDE, PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS TIME TO VISIT WITH OTHER PARENTS, BUT RATHER MOVE THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOLYARD TO PREVENT FAST RUNNING, PUSHING, AND ANY OTHER UNSAFE SITUATIONS, ETC.

Please be sure you communicate with the other assigned lunch parents and determine what part of the playground you will be responsible for

As it is so necessary for our parents to be diligent in their supervision of the children, please refrain from using cell phones when on lunch duty.

IF ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED, PLEASE INFORM THE TEACHER ON DUTY.

Children needing to use lavatories (either in cafeteria or in school yard) are to ask PERMISSION OF SUPERVISING TEACHER..

No child is to go back to the classroom once they have entered the cafeteria. Please see Mrs. Donofri.

A lunch parent takes the place of the classroom teacher during the lunch period and, therefore, is in charge of the class. Children should never be allowed to run on the stairs. This is a precautionary measure to attempt to prevent accidents, and I ask that you please exert yourself in this matter. Children may not have physical or improper verbal confrontation. If any problems occur that you cannot handle, please refer to the teacher on duty or to me and we will attempt to resolve them. If a child causes a problem, please notify the homeroom teacher when she returns.

Once again thank you for your continued cooperation.

LUNCH SCHEDULE:

PLEASE REFER TO THE HARD COPY OF YOUR LUNCH SCHEDULE FOR THE NEW YEAR.  IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, PLEASE CALL MRS. DONOFRI.
