Secondary Tuesday Lunch Move Permanent

Our shift to 11:30am recess and 12:00pm lunch on Tuesdays for secondary students was a resounding success. We will now make this change permanent. This means that secondary students always eat at 12:00pm. Easy to remember, right?! Many thanks to Ms. Moen for this suggestion.

Tuesday Secondary Lunch Change

This Tuesday we will move the Secondary lunch period to 11:30am-12:30pm with secondary recess FIRST from 11:30-12:00pm and lunch from 12:00-12:30pm. This means that Tuesday will see the Secondary lunch break between Block Three and Block Four with students eating at 12:00pm just like all other days. There should be no impact on Primary lunch. Secondary teachers with BTT this Tuesday have been notified. The goal of this change is to create a smoother and more consistent Secondary student experience on Tuesdays and to improve traffic flow around the cafeteria.  Please see Mr. Bratton or Ms. Morrow with questions. Thanks for giving this a go!
