Behavioural Expectations

Our goal at St. George School is to provide a safe and orderly environment in which children may enjoy their lunch. Our expectations for students participating in the St. George lunch program are:

to remain seated while eating lunch
to speak using an “indoor” voice
to respect others space and safety
to clean and tidy lunch areas so that no garbage is remaining
to complete all lunch duties as assigned
to deposit all garbage in trashcans located in the hallway
to only leave the lunchroom with permission
to stay on school property at all times during lunch hour

Lunch Supervisors will inform students when they are behaving in an unacceptable manner. If the behaviour persists, the student will receive a lunch warning—communicated to parents by way of a letter. If a student receives three lunch warnings, they will be suspended from the lunch program for one week. Following a lunch suspension, students may not return to the program until the family has met with school administration.

Students receiving a second suspension will be removed from the lunch program for the remainder of the school year.

“Peanut Safer” School

We encourage parents and guardians to refrain form sending foods that may contain peanuts or peanut oil.

Lunch Recess

All students are expected to go outside for the recess portion of the lunch hour. Please ensure that your child is dressed appropriately for the weather conditions.
