Cafeteria & Lunch |
|||||
Lunches
Hot lunch is available each full day of school. The cost is $2.25/meal (2006) which includes milk. Reduced lunch price is 25¢ for eligible students. It is recommended that students having hot lunch on a regular basis prepay for any number of lunches desired. Please make checks payable to BVSD (Boulder Valley School District). If you would like to pay for lunches by credit card, forms are available in the office to submit to the BVSD Accounting Dept., or you can call the Accounting Dept. directly at (303) 447-5138, ext. 3031. Each student is assigned a number that is used in the Cafeteria computer system to keep track of individual accounts. It is helpful if you would note the name of your student and their cafeteria number on the check. Payment is turned in to the classroom teacher at the beginning of the school day. The cashier will stamp each child’s hand when they have one lunch remaining on their account.
Students bringing their own lunch may purchase white or chocolate milk for 50¢ or orange juice for 50¢. Vanilla and chocolate Soy milk is available for $1. Students may provide their own drink; however, canned pop is prohibited. We do not have the staff or facilities to warm-up student’s food brought from home.
Vanilla or chocolate ice cream is available on Fridays for 50¢. (Not true in 2006-7?)
The monthly lunch menu will be sent home with each child and is also available on the district website at http//www.bvsd.org. A Heatherwood-specific lunch menu is usually available on the school website. A weekly menu is also published in the Boulder Daily Camera.
It is important that the teacher and the cafeteria staff be aware of any food allergies of any student. A note from the student’s doctor needs to be given to the office. Every effort will be made to accommodate any allergies in tray preparation for those students. 1% milk is served.
Recess Before Lunch
Our goal at Heatherwood is to create a lunch atmosphere that supports healthy eating. Benefits from a recess before lunch schedule are improved cafeteria atmosphere since students are more relaxed and focused on eating rather than on the playground. Less supervision is needed in the cafeteria because student behavior is improved. There is less plate waste and less trash. Fewer students have to see the nurse for upset stomachs and students return to the classroom ready to learn.
Cafeteria Rules
All students are expected to follow the cafeteria rules and act appropriately.
-
Students should talk in a soft and quiet voice.
-
Students should remain seated except to get help, to get milk or juice or to use the restroom. The lunchroom supervisor or custodian will dismiss a student when the student has finished lunch, cleaned the portion of the table where he/she was sitting and conducted him/herself in an appropriate manner.
-
Students should use appropriate table manners.
-
Students should be helpful by stacking trays, throwing trash away and putting other eating utensils in the appropriate containers.
-
Students should be respectful of one another and of adults.
Students are responsible for their behavior and appropriate eating habits in the cafeteria. Each week teachers will choose one or two students to be in charge of their classroom tables. These students will monitor behavior and remind their class to “bus” their own lunch refuse. Students will provide a report on appropriate manners and behaviors to the lunchroom supervisor and their teachers.
