Lunch Visitor Guidelines Reminder
Parents are welcome to join their child for lunch during their scheduled time, except on testing days or when the administration calls for a closed campus. Parents and children will sit together in the designated lunchroom area, and while parents may bring lunch for their own child, they may not bring food for other students. If a non-parent adult will be visiting, parents must email the school at least one hour before the scheduled lunch period and include the visitor’s name. Please note that visitors may not visit with other students and must follow all Aristoi Classical Academy policies and procedures. Advanced notice is always appreciated, as it allows staff to ensure adequate seating.
