Update from Student Council – Student Voice and Student Choice Committee

Student Council – Voice and Choice Committee

Over the course of the past semester, our committee has been working on the issue of lunch pricing and food quality. After conducting survey on school lunch with the MS/US student body, we shared the results of the survey (and all of your valuable feedback) with Chartwells.

We collected 97 responses in total. In general, people were satisfied with the quality, quantity, and the variety of food. We also discussed areas with negative feedback with Chartwells, particularly on high pricing of lunch.

Moving forward:

  • The entire weekly lunch menus will be in the daily bulletin
  • MS/US students may ask for more/less food if they would like
  • We will continue to conduct surveys and further discussions regarding lunch menus in the next semester

We welcome any further suggestions for improvement to school lunch. Please feel free to contact any member of Student Council or our supervisors Ms. Chen and Ms. Beck.

Indoor Break Means Indoor Break

Hello Middle School Students,

A friendly reminder that when we have an indoor break, you need to stay inside as well.

Frequent asked questions

Why? Because there is no adult supervision outside at that time. We care about your safety.

How do I know it’s indoor break? Besides the driving rain/snow/thunder/ lightning/zombies/scorching heat/high PM2.5 reading, the absence of other students and teachers is a good visual indicator.

Many thanks for your cooperation.
