[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When school starts in fall, anyone knows how do kids buy their lunch? Line up during lunchtime or pre-order from their home classroom? Lunch is only 30 min, and I am concerned that there won't be time to buy lunch and eat. And, are classroom going to sit together to eat lunch, or kids sit randomly? Well, even mask is not required, but we are still during covid time. I wonder what will be the policy in the fall.

Mine is a rising 1st grader, and he got free lunch or sometimes pack lunch. He has not bought any lunch yet, and he probably does not know how to.

I got email that parents can put money into account to pay school fees, is that also for pay lunch fee?[/quote]

It varies from school to school but at the school where I worked it's like this:

The kids tell their teachers in the morning if they are eating hot lunch or lunch from home. Typically kids eat with their class. I think there are separate tables for kids who have severe allergies or in the event a kid is severely misbehaving and needs to sit by themself.

When the students order hot lunch they are called up by class to pick out their food and then they type in their student number into a keypad and there are staff in hand to help. I think the lunchroom staff have all the names and their id numbers on cards so they pass them out to the kids who are eating hot lunch lunch  (The kids have the same student ID number throughout their years at school. )

I think you can put money on your kid's lunch account.

I agree that 30 minutes isn't much time which is why I prefer to pack lunches, however my daughter really liked school lunch so much. She wasn't concerned about the lack of time to eat lunch, I think the staff are really good about getting kids through the line quickly and varying which class goes first so it wasn't a big issue. Now that it's not free I think I'm going to let her order 2 days a week [/quote]
