[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ll be headed to Eastern MS too. I recall one of the administrators telling us they serve “supper” at 3pm when school lets out for the kids staying for after school activities.

Yes, at Eastern, all the kids doing clubs on T/W/Th can get hot food in the cafeteria afterschool if they want it.  Obviously, this doesn't work with after-school sports, but my kid also reported that students are generally allowed to eat during class (with a few exceptions, like science).  So, extra snacks like a granola bar/crackers/fruit to eat later have worked for us in that instance.

For me it's more of a concern to have ES lunches at like 10:30 since there is no other opportunity to eat unless your kid's classroom teacher explicitly allows for an afternoon snack break.  At our ES the younger kids have lunch at normal hours but the older kids (4th and 5th) have really early lunches.  Also ES starts a lot later so having lunch an hour after arrival is kind of ridiculous.  I definitely understand why this needs to happen - lots of kids to cycle through the cafeteria - but in that case I would hope that the school would be more flexible about allowing an opportunity to re-fuel in the afternoon.
