Students may remain at school to eat lunch, or they may go home if they can accomplish this in 40 minutes.  This is the lunch policy of all the elementary schools in District 203.  If your child usually stays for lunch but you would like him/her to come home on a specific day, we require a note or call to that effect and the parent must come into the building and complete the signing out process in the office. Parents must sign their child back into school upon returning after lunch.

Students who forget their lunches may have permission to call home, first thing in the morning.  Lunches may be delivered and given to the front office staff.  Please clearly label your child’s lunch container with first and last names, grade, and teacher’s name. 

 What do I do if I am picking my child up early from school for a doctor’s appointment?

You can call the attendance line or front office or send a note.  Once you park, come into the front office and while you are signing your child out, the staff will call for your child.  To plan your time management, please include at least ten minutes for this process to take place.

What do I do when I am dropping my child off late to school in the morning?

You must park your car and come into the front office to sign him/her in the “Student Sign In/Out” book.  If your child will be ordering lunch make sure their order is added to the tally sheet in the classroom envelope in the front office.

I cannot pick up my child at 2:30, can you keep him until I get there?

No, after school supervision is not available.  You must make arrangements in advance to have your child go to someone’s home or be picked up by a friend/neighbor at the bus stop.

Holiday room parties:

There are three classroom parties (Fall, Winter, and Friendship). Classroom parties are coordinated between classroom teachers and Home & School room parents. Only those parents who are assigned as party coordinators are allowed to attend. All schools in District 203 will have parties without food treats and the focus will be on games and crafts. This will allow us to protect all students who may have food allergies. As well, we ask your cooperation and understanding that no food items will be passed out at parties.
