Garden Elementary's Cafeteria Guidelines

• Before going to the cafeteria, remember to sign in at the office and obtain a (red) CAFETERIA pass.

 

• Parents can sit at the their children's table if there is enough room. An overflow table for families is provided for cases where adequate space is not available at the student tables.  Outside spaces are always available if you choose to use them.

 

• We can allow only your own child(ren) to eat with you.  Please do not ask other children to join you.

 

• If you are planning to bring a special lunch for your child, please be sure that you are here a few minutes early.  If your child tells the cafeteria monitors that you are coming with lunch, but you are not yet here, we will have your child take a lunch so that he/she isn't sitting without food during the lunch period.

 

• If you have told your child that you are coming (with or without food) and cannot make it, please call and let us know.  While there may be some initial disappointment, it will save your child from spending all of his/her lunchtime wondering where you are.

 

• We have four excellent cafeteria monitors who will be supervising our students during lunch.  They expect the children to use quiet, inside voices and to 'visit' only with students at their own tables.
