One of the first things that I ask students to do in the morning is place his or her lunchbox in our bin (if they are bringing lunch from home). When it is time to line up for lunch (especially for the first few weeks), I will remind students that all home lunches need to be in the bin before it’s wheeled downstairs for lunch. If the occasion arises that your student leaves his or her lunch in the classroom, they will not be allowed to leave the cafeteria to retrieve it. Lunch is my prep period, and I often have meetings elsewhere in the school, and will not be available to open the classroom door. If a student is unable to eat with classmates in the cafeteria, he or she will eat in the breakout room, while the rest of the class is learning.
