We expect that lunch visitors will be limited to special occasions and/or 1x/month. Lunch time is your child’s social time with their peers. While we understand that lunch visitors are fun for the kids, we value the social interaction that the kids experience during lunch.

Lunch visitors are expected to follow the lunch room rules and follow staff directions. You will sit at the lunch table with your child’s class, we will not have separate lunch tables for visitors.

You are welcome to bring food from home, if desired. Please do not bring food for your child’s friends.

Students follow the regular routine and will say goodbye to their visitor in the cafeteria before lining up to move to recess. Lunch visitors will return to the office to sign out of the building. No visitors are allowed on the playground or to wander the school.

Have you filled out a free and reduced lunch application for the 2024-25 school year? We get money for our school based on our Free and Reduced numbers. If you think you might qualify please complete application here
