Reminder from our Student Handbook….
Lunchroom Visitors: After the first 2 weeks of school, parents/guardians may join their student for lunch on a limited basis. Visitors are limited to 3 per student (parents, grandparents and non-school aged children only). Students should not have lunch visitors more than ONCE per week. Parents are encouraged to limit their visits in the cafeteria in order to promote student independ-ence and peer relationships. Only the student being visited may sit at the visitor table, friends from class may not join. All visitors must bring photo ID with them to check in at the front office. Remember you may only provide food for your own child. *No lunch visitors will be permitted on early dismissal days, testing days, days reserved for Kindergarten and Pre-K registration and the last 2 weeks of the school year.* Other days where lunchroom visitations are restricted are Teacher Appreciation Luncheon, Field Days, Fall and Spring party days.
Griffin welcomes lunch visitors beginning
