Ask your Principal to allow kindergartners to eat lunch in their classrooms!

This is what our Principal did after a disastrous year of Kindergartners eating lunch at 10:30 in the cafeteria because of overcrowding (5th graders ate lunch at 1:30).

Everyone was much happier with a more normal lunch time. Eating in classrooms isn't a bad thing at all.

Most schools do not have the staffing to have supervision in each classroom at lunch time.[/quote]

Honestly this was a problem that we had during COVID when students were still eating in the classroom. There aren't necessarily half a dozen people around the school that have nothing to do for either that 30 minutes or longer if they're supporting multiple lunches.[/quote]

This should not be an issue for the next few years. Principals are being given ESSR III funds with discretion to hire hourly people.[/quote]

FYI, the pay for a "cafeteria hostess" is $11.00 per hour. I overheard our office staff complaining that they'd gotten some inquiries but no one was willing to do it for that amount, especially now with the Delta variant.[/quote]

The fast food places have figured it out.  What do they know that FCPS can't figure out?[/quote]

I don’t think fast food places have “figured it out”; there’s a huge labor shortage for those jobs. They don’t pay enough for the amount of shit the employees are expected to deal with. FCPS needs to take its cues from an industry that pays a living wage. [/quote]
