All students will have approximately 48 minutes for lunch break which will provide sufficient time to eat and have free playtime. To ensure the safety of children, we do not allow these students to leave the school grounds during this time unless accompanied by a parent. Students are required to provide their own lunch. Microwaves, cutlery, or hot water are not available. Students wishing to have hot foods should bring them in a thermos container. We encourage families to provide nutrition-rich foods that support learning; pop, sugary drinks and candy are strongly discouraged. There will be two lunch groups, eating from 12:30 – 12:52 p.m. or 12:55 – 1:18 p.m. dependent on grade and class.

Lunchroom Behaviour Expectations

All students in the lunchroom are expected to:

• Be respectful of staff and students in the lunchroom
• Remain seated while eating until they are dismissed
• Clean up after eating – garbage and recycling put in the appropriate bins

Fun Lunch 

Once a month our children can order and enjoy a lunch delivered from outside the school. Please register online and order your lunches at least 5 days prior to every Fun Lunch. If you do not order and pay for a Fun Lunch, please send a lunch for your child. No extra orders are available. Contact brentwoodfunlunch@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns. If you have an hour or two to help set up, hand out food or even cleanup afterwards, please email brentwoodvolunteerbank@gmail.com and let Alina know; no experience required. 

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

Allergies

We have children at our school who are allergic to nuts and related nut products, we strive to be a Nut-Free School. Parents must indicate any special health concerns on the school registration for their child and are encouraged to ensure classroom teachers are also aware of health issues. For more information about this and other health concerns visit our Illness & Medical page.
