Recess and Lunch Procedures 


Each child is to bring his/her lunch from home unless lunch is purchased through the school lunch program.  The government school lunch program was initiated for the benefit of the students and parents. ALL are expected to adhere to the policy of not bringing in food from other places. Students will generally, weather permitting, eat lunch during their assigned lunch period on their assigned lunch tables and benches in the back of the school. Students are to remain in their eating area until all trash has been picked up and the yard supervisor has excused them. Hot Lunch is served daily, Monday through Friday. 


All snacks taken outside at recess must be eaten in the designated area under the canopy. Children may play when these snacks are finished. NO FOOD OR DRINK MAY BE TAKEN IN THE RESTROOMS AT ANY TIME. Snacks may be taken away from children at the discretion of the school staff, if rules are not followed. Water may be purchased throughout the day.


Snacks or drinks other than WATER may only be purchased during recess and lunch.  Students buying snacks MUST always be accompanied by an adult. Flaming HOT snacks, Takis are NOT permitted at school and will be taken away.
