We appreciate everyone that has showed up for their lunch duties so far this school year. No-shows for lunch duty have become more frequent recently. It is very important for everyone to be present. This is the only required commitment of service we ask of our parents. It is especially important to have evryone present on Monday, Wednesday and Friday due to hot lunches needing distributed.
- If your child is sick and unable to attend school on a day you ordered lunch, to cancel the lunch for a refund, email [email protected] or call 404-406-4017 and leave a message before 8am.
- Students may not bring glass bottles, soft drinks or excessive amounts of candy. When planning and packing lunch, please make healthy choices. These good choices will affect the child's ability to focus and learn in the classroom.
- Lunches that have been dropped off at the school will go on a lunch cart that will be accessible to the students in the cafeteria.
- In the event that a child forgets his/her lunch, food will be provided. If the child frequently forgets his/her lunch, the administration will contact the parents to inform them of the situation.
- Students may go home/out for lunch provided the student goes only with a parent or guardian and a note for that particular day is sent to the school. Parents must pick up and sign out their child at the school office and adhere to appropriate lunch/recess periods.
- Parents may join their child for lunch at the guest table designated in the parish hall. Children may ask one friend to join them at the guest table.
- Students are expected to use appropriate manners when eating lunch. Courtesy toward other students and cooperation with lunch monitors are required at all times.
