[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suggest packing a lunch, she will have more time to eat it if she doesn't have to wait in line. That said, you could have her buy lunch once or twice in the first two weeks while the teachers and lunch workers are extra helpful so if she ever forgets her lunch or it gets spilled, she can go through the lunch line without worrying that she doesn't know what to do. And put $10 on her lunch account in case that happens, or one day you're just too rushed to pack.[/quote] At my son's school, the first couple of weeks were so hectic that he would not have had time to eat if he had to stand in line for lunch. So, I suggest you pack her a lunch for at least the first week. As a pp said, I put $20 on his account just in case.[/quote] I would wait at least 2 weeks or more before sending them in the lunch line. Until the school gets all the FARMS data entered into the system there is always confusion in the lunch line. Our daughter is going into 3rd and she has never gotten lunch at the school only because I know that she wouldn't get enough time to eat it. If your school offers breakfasts, I highly recommend thinking about getting them. They just hand them out as you enter the building and they don't need to keep track of the FARMS data since they are offered to all kids at the school regardless of income. [/quote]
