Lunch and Lunch Visitors

Parent lunches will start on Friday, September 11, and will be on Fridays or Mondays this year after that.

  • We will use SignUpGenius as our scheduling tool. We are able to accommodate a limited number of guests each day.

  • Only parents who have signed up will be able to visit for lunch.

  • Parents/Guardians will be able to sit with their child only.

  • Please allow all parents an opportunity to come have lunch with their child.

  • Parents will still need to check in and out of the office with a valid picture ID on the days they are scheduled to eat with their child.

Food Deliveries

To ensure the safety and well-being of all our students, we kindly remind you that outside food deliveries, including fast food, are not permitted during school hours. If your child forgets their lunch, you are welcome to bring a sack lunch to the front office before 10:00 a.m.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Parent Questions or Concerns

At Keeley, we value strong partnerships with our families and are committed to addressing concerns promptly and respectfully. If you have a question or concern regarding your child, we encourage you to first contact your child's teacher. In most cases, open communication between families and teachers leads to a quick and successful resolution. If your concern remains unresolved after speaking with the teacher, a campus administrator is available to provide additional support. Following this process helps ensure concerns are addressed by the appropriate individuals and allows us to work together in the best interest of every student.
