Parents have shared the following list of tips:

• Let your child's teacher know in advance that you are coming.
• Be on time (or five minutes early). Consider bringing at least one book from home. Let your child help you pick it out. Books are also available in the Lunch Bunch Room inside the cafeteria and in the Lunch Bunch Basket in the media center.
• Sign in at the front office and wear your visitor’s label. (And sign out....)
• Limit your Lunch Bunch group to four children—that includes siblings!
• Don't plan to eat with the children -- they want to hear a story while they eat.
• Special treats are not recommended -- unless you bring enough for the whole class.
• Enjoy sitting outside when the weather is nice. Be considerate of the noise and distraction that you cause if you choose an indoor lunch bunch area, and avoid high traffic areas such as ramps or stairs.
• Encourage the children to eat their lunch while you are reading. Some of the younger children are still learning to manage their time.
• Watch the time -- and help the children get back to the classroom on time.
• Please leave the area as clean or cleaner than you found it by collecting your trash and disposing of it properly—that includes cellophane wrappers from juice boxes!

Supporting School Routines

• Students should walk quietly in the hall.
• If you read in the classroom, close the door so nearby classes are not disturbed.
• Children should stop by the restroom before they start lunch.
• Wait your turn -- if another class is still in the restroom, wait until they are finished before your lunch bunch goes in.
• In the cafeteria, you can help the children with their lunch selections. Plastic gloves are provided on top of the serving area. Children can use disposable trays.
• Lunch trash should be placed in the lunchroom trashcans to avoid attracting bees outside or odors in the building.
