[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Center kid would also rather have lunch/recess with the kids she has in class and not be split between two different lunch/recess groups but it is what it is.  The Center is not even half of only the 4th and 5th grades (there are 3 Center classes and 4 non-Center classes in each grade).  So there’s no way it’s 60% of the school when you add in the 3rd graders.[/quote]

Hi Center Parent!  Thank you for responding.  We local parents suspected that Center kids would also want to be among their own classmates during lunch and recess to help facilitate closer friendships much quicker in a new school miles away from home.  At this age and middle school, friendships are a huge part of school and the kids should not be denied this right.

It only benefits ALL of the kids socially and emotionally for the lunch split to be RHPS kids and Center kids in different lunches. Kids are apparently trying to sneak into other lunches because they are so lonely and are desperate to see their friends.  The Principal statted taking attendance to stop this and lectured them.  Now the kids and parents want to start a petition but they are afraid of the Princpal who is highly reactive and refuses to budge even if the kids are hurting.

So to the PP before you, we are "strategizing and moving forward".  Maybe we bypass the Principal.  I still have two more kids to go through this school. 
I have a deeply vested interest.  Thanks for the tip!  Already on it![/quote]
