Lunch Room/Break Expectations

• Remain seated during time allotted for eating.
• Volume of voice and eating behaviour should be that of a family dining out in a restaurant...Low, private and polite.
• "Bring what you need and eat what you bring"...Preferably in a recyclable container.
• Listen to announcements for reminders of lunch hour activities.
• Washroom visits need permission of the supervising teacher and sign out of the classroom.
• Visit the School Store only during the first 5 minutes of the break. The School Store will be open for the first 15 minutes of lunch.
• After eating, remain seated. Play games or talk quietly.Put your garbage away and put your chairs in at the bell.
• Report problems to the teacher on duty.
• When the bell rings, WAIT for teacher dismissal, then walk quickly and quietly outside.
• Do not bring food or drink in glass containers.
• Do not throw out your lunch...Take it home.
• We do have students with severe, life-threatening allergies to peanuts and any or all peanut by-products. We do expect that students will avoid bringing any food products containing peanut products.
• Locker Visits: visit your locker if needed before going out, and remember that once you are outside you will need a teacher's permission to come back in. For safety reasons it is important that you take from your locker what you need (coat, hat, equipment etc.) right after you are dismissed. This will decrease the traffic inside the building and will help staff and administration to supervise all student activities.
• When outside at recess, stay in the permitted areas. Only return in the building with permission of a teacher.
