LUNCH VISITOR POLICY UPDATES FOR SPRING SEMESTER LUNCH VISITOR POLICY UPDATES FOR SPRING SEMESTER

Dear Parents and Guardians,

At Kimberlin Academy, the well-being of our students—physical, mental, and emotional—remains at the heart of every decision we make. As part of our ongoing efforts to ensure a safe and supportive environment, we are updating our lunch visitation policy to better accommodate our students' needs.


Beginning January 2025, we will be able to accommodate six families per grade level for lunch visits. To ensure fairness and equal opportunity for all families, each family may sign up for one visit per month. Additionally, we ask that no more than four visitors attend per student, which includes younger siblings.


Due to the limited number of slots available, it is essential that you inform the school office more than 24 hours in advance if you are unable to attend your scheduled visit. This will allow us to open up the spot for another family.


Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we implement this new policy. Our goal is to continue providing a positive, healthy environment for all students, and we appreciate your support in making this possible.


Warm regards,
Elizabeth Murdoch, Principal
