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]

Serious question—at my elementary school there was no cafeteria and all kids ate lunch in their classroom. [b]The teacher was in there with us usually also eating their lunch[/b]. Why can’t the same thing happen here?[/quote]

It's something called a "lunch break".[/quote]

Teachers at our son’s private school eat in the classroom with the kids (1st grade). Why can’t FCPS teachers do that too?[/quote]

Because they don't teach at your son's private school and they get a LUNCH BREAK. Seriously. Would you really want to now take away a lunch break? Other than your son's private school, how many employers expect their employees to work a full day with no break?[/quote]

PP here -- the teachers at my son's school get breaks when the kids are in science, or PE, or art, or otherwise out of the classroom.  Unless the kids are in the same room with the teacher all day, there are plenty of ways to give teachers breaks while also having them in the room with the kids during lunchtime.[/quote]
