Question: What time should my child return to the school if s/he comes home
for lunch?
Answer: No earlier than 12:35. If your child consistently comes to school
earlier, s/he will be considered under our Lunch Program umbrella, needing
outside supervision and will be asked to bring a lunch ticket the next school day.
A Gentle Reminder note will be sent home with your child.
Question: I’m not sure whether or not to send a lunch ticket, what should I do?
Answer: Send a lunch ticket. There’s absolutely no harm in sending one, as
Lunch Supervisors will not ask for a lunch ticket for Parent-Council sponsored
events such as Fun Lunch and Field Trips. The lunch ticket will be returned
home for future use.
Question: What if my child has an appointment during lunch hour? If I see my
child outside during lunch recess, can I just come and get him/her?
Answer: No. For the safety of the children, we do not release any child directly
to parents or guardians approaching from outside. Please go through the front
door into the office and the secretary will phone the lunch coordinator
outside. All lunch supervisors carry walkie talkies to promptly locate any
child. We will find your child and send him/her to the office to meet you.
If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the lunch
coordinator, Tara Robinson (204-477-5626) or email: [email protected].
