Lunch & Nutrition

Students living within reasonable distance of the school are encouraged to return home for lunch where feasible.

Lunchroom aides are hired to supervise and are on duty throughout the lunch break. These aides are agents of the Board and have the same authority as a supervising teacher. Students are provided with time to eat their lunch and clean up their eating area. All students then go outside and are expected to remain on the school grounds.

Application for a supervised lunch program can be made by completing a Malcolm Tweddle Lunch Registration Form which will be sent home with students. Details regarding payment are available on the lunch registration form. The fees are used to pay the salaries of the supervisors and any other expenses incurred (eg. paper towels, games for noon hour use).

If fees for lunchtime supervision have not been paid when due, the supervision service can be suspended. Parents will be required to make alternate arrangements for supervision until outstanding fees are paid in full.

Lunch privileges for any student may be cancelled if the student’s behavior during the lunch break is not acceptable.
