Mid-morning Break Procedures: We are adjusting our mid-morning break/breakfast procedures. We will continue offering a second breakfast opportunity in the cafeteria from 9:51 to 10:01 and on Wednesdays 9:41 to 9:51. However, we will stop allowing students to enter the serving line at 9:56 and on Wednesdays by 9:46. This change will ensure that students have enough time to eat as well as enough time to get to class before second block begins. Please communicate this and the following additional information with your student so they are aware of the change.

- Students must be in the line to order by 9:56 and on Wednesdays by 9:46
- Students not eating will be sent to class
- Students are expected to be in their second block class on time; breakfast does not excuse being tardy to class
