Cafeteria Visits

Our school welcomes you to join your child for lunch as well as participate in fun classroom activities scheduled by your child’s teacher. To ensure a smooth transition from summertime to school time, lunchroom visits will begin after Labor Day.

Many parents value the opportunity to have lunch with their child during the school day. A parent, guardian, or grandparent may visit their child in the cafeteria during the lunch period on Wednesdays and Fridays ONLY provided the following policy is followed. These guidelines are intended to provide a safe and positive lunch experience for all children in the school. Parents/guardians are required to report to the main office to sign-in. State-issued photo identification is required. Lunch visitors will not be permitted on campus without presenting a photo ID.

Lunch Guest Procedures

1. Only your child will be allowed to eat lunch with you. Adults visiting for lunch must be listed on the student emergency card.
2. You may purchase the school lunch or bring one from home. No outside fast food bag lunches may be dropped in the front office for students to eat in the cafeteria.
3. Children may not share food or purchase food for another child.
4. The visitor’s badge given to you by the office staff when you check-in must be worn on your shirt and must be easily visible by lunch monitors. Only the student(s) names indicated on the badge may sit with you.
5. The lunchroom visit must take place during the child’s regularly scheduled lunch time.
6. Lunch visitors must eat at the designated picnic tables visible from the cafeteria.
7. The student is required to continue to follow all cafeteria procedures.
8. Students will not be allowed to remain for an extended lunch time. Children being visited need to return to the classroom when the teacher picks up the class.
9. The visitor is not allowed to take pictures, video, or make audio recordings during the visit.
10. Any questions or concerns must be directed to the principal or assistant principal. The visitor must not direct concerns to the staff or monitors as these employees are focused on student safety and monitoring.
11. Lunchroom visitors may not visit other areas of the campus without prior approval.

Thank you for your assistance. We are glad you are part of the Pirate family.

Sincerely,

Gretchen Rudolph‑Fladd
Principal
