     Building Strong Foundations * Each Student * Every Day.

 Playground and Lunchroom

Goal: Building positive student relationships and helping students

enjoy a short break from the rigors of classwork.

  In the lunchroom:

• Each student is treated with respect and dignity at all times.
• A safe and enjoyable environment is maintained for students through active monitoring. A lunchroom monitor continually moves throughout the area to manage the lunchroom.
• As students move through the line we ask them to go five at a time so they have time and get what they need before being seated.
• Students are required to remain seated during the lunch period.
• Students are encouraged to use a calm, “inside voice” in the lunchroom.
• Students will be rewarded with Panther Paws for demonstrating the expectations.
• When students are dismissed to wait in line to wait for their teacher, “line basics” skills should be demonstrated; hands at side, facing forward, quiet and ready to walk.

On the Playground:

• Check the weather each day.  Your child should be prepared to be outside unless it is extremely cold, extremely hot, or there is rain/sleet/snow.  We do not deny students the opportunity to go outside unless absolutely necessary.
• Wear appropriate clothing.  Remind your child to keep track of their items, writing your child’s name on clothing helps.
• Wear appropriate shoes.  Athletic tennis shoes are the best choice. Your child will have the opportunity to participate in outdoor games and activities and their safety is our first priority.
• Lost and found can be checked at any time if your child has a missing item.
• Safety and sportsmanship are top priorities on the playground. Supervisors will constantly be watching and helping the children learn rules to games and to ensure their safety each day.
