First, the students have been offered a chance to earn music during their Friday lunch time each week by showing good behavior throughout the week. We have also created a competition between the three lunch bells with the most well behaved bell earning a prize to be determined before spring break.
Students have been instructed to keep the following rules in order to earn a good behavior rating:
1. Keep the noise level to that of a classroom (ie. no yelling or shouting)
2. No pounding on the tables or chairs
3. Leave a clean cafeteria for the next lunch group
4. Stay in your seat until dismissed from lunch
5. Be respectful to the lunch supervisors and other students
Second, we have added a few new procedures to ensure cleanliness and order in the cafeteria. We will now be dismissing students by table to throw their trash away and leave the cafeteria. This will allow a supervisor to check for cleanliness at each table and will add order to the way students leave. We have also started to give lunch detentions to any student who is not following the lunch time rules. These lunch detentions will be served immediately, unless it is the end of the bell, in which case they will be served the next day.
Please help us to improve our lunch time environment by discussing and enforcing these procedures with your children.
Thank you!
