Lunch Time Expectations During their assigned lunch periods, students are permitted to gather and eat only in the Cafeteria and main foyer. The second floor, hallways on the first floor, and all stairwells need to remain as quiet as possible, to avoid interruptions to instruction. Students are not permitted to sit in the hallways during their lunch periods. Students may access their lockers in the first and last five minutes of the period, to minimize disruptions. Access to the library will depend on the need for use by classes. Students are permitted to leave school property on their lunch period. They do not need to inform the office or sign out/in. Students are responsible for being in class following their lunch period
