Lunch Time On Campus
St. Francis of Assisi School encourages its students to participate in the active life of the school by staying on campus during each lunch period. This enables the staff to provide a safe, secure, environment for the students throughout the day and furthers our goal of social development for our children through appropriate work and play. Students who are designated as “walkers” are expected to walk directly home and then return to campus a few minutes prior to the entry bell. They may, however, also remain for lunch. Students who are bused are expected to stay at school for the duration of the lunch period. Parents or guardians wishing to take their children out for lunch are welcome to do so at any time. Please sign them out at the main office.
This procedure addresses safety and security issues, it allows for greater order and discipline within the school and is a component of our school mission. It fosters the safe management of 400 students with the view of a better educational environment for all.
The staff , our priest, Fr. Seabrooke, our School Superintendent, Mrs. D. Thomas, Director, Mr. G. Reeves, Catholic School Council and local police support this policy. However, for parents who wish to have their children spend the lunch break away from home or school, a release form is available, along with daily school permission forms. Hand written notes are not accepted. New forms must be requested for the 2011-2012 school year. Parents are asked to contact the principal, vice principal or secretary to obtain your package.
