During the first few days of school, our teachers will practice procedures, review expectations, and prepare students for a year of EXCELLENCE! We’re always happy to welcome parents who want to eat lunch with their child. Please allow us the time we need to teach, demonstrate, and practice appropriate cafeteria behavior. We ask that parents wait until August 28 to begin eating lunch with their child. During this time, we can be sure homeroom assignments are permanent, teach cafeteria behaviors, allow students to learn their lunch numbers and their assigned tables, and practice great cafeteria behavior. Our great cafeteria staff is ready to prepare lunch for all of our Bears and their parents! THANK YOU for your fabulous support!
