F.  CAFETERIA LUNCH/SNACK

Cafeteria Lunch Program—Lunch Period 11:30 - 12:15

Children will carry lunch from home. Milk is available (milk tickets may be purchased in the homeroom). No child will be allowed off the school grounds at any time unless (1) they are accompanied by a parent/guardian (2) they have a written note or a phone call is made to the school office. A student who goes home for lunch may bring one note at the beginning of the year that will suffice for the whole year.

Students are to have an extra napkin packed. This napkin is to be placed on the table before beginning to eat lunch and is to assist the student in leaving his/her table place in a suitable way. In the cafeteria, students are expected to remain seated while eating and to observe proper table manners and a reasonable, conversational tone. The ordinary rules of etiquette should be observed. If a student demonstrates unacceptable behavior he/she will be asked to eat alone at another table.

All food is to be eaten in the lunchroom. Prayer is said in class before lunch.

Hot Lunch

Hot lunch will start early in the school year and will be served on Tuesday and Thursdays. There will be a minimal cost for the hot lunch. Hot lunch DOES NOT include a drink. Milk may be purchased from school.

Each month you will receive a lunch envelope with a menu and ticket/s for the next month. It will come in the Monday newsletter. Please keep the menu in a handy place for easy reference. Each family must have his/her own envelope for the lunch orders.

We MUST have an accurate count of lunches. If we do not receive the lunch money for your child/children on time, your child/ children will not receive hot lunch the next month.

Snack Time

Students may bring a nutritious snack for break time (no drinks please). A snack is defined as fruit, granola bars, raisins, etc. (no junk food) and should be quick and easy to eat. Snack time is around 10:00 am each morning. The teacher may ask a student to put the snack away if the snack brought interferes with the teaching and learning process.

Kindergarten may buy milk for morning snack time.
