Good morning, Crocker,

Please follow the directions below for eating lunch during trimester 3:

  1. 6th graders can eat outside. The locations include the courtyard by MakerSpace, the grass area by the lecture hall, the blue tables courtyard, or the area near Ms. Slater's office. 

  2. All grade levels can eat lunch inside the MPR at the tables. Remember, no backpacks are allowed in the MPR or restrooms. Please leave them outside against a wall and do not block pathways. 

  3. 8th graders still have their special area on the grass by the band room.

  4. There is no eating upstairs, by the gym or bike racks, in front of the MPR, or on the lower level by the office.

  5. If it rains, the usual inside locations will be available for eating and hanging out.

Thank you for your cooperation,
