Lunch Visits
As our kindergarteners are learning their routines at SJE, please help your child build their independence at lunch by working with them on how to open and close their lunch containers as much as possible.
Coming to visit for lunch is a great opportunity to connect with our school and your child throughout the year. We ask that parents refrain from visiting during lunch prior to September 2nd to allow our students to build friendships and familiarize themselves with routines and procedures.
- Space is limited. We can only host 5 visitors per lunch period, so please limit your visits to once per week to allow all families the same opportunity.
- Guests must park in the parking lots.
- Guests must have their ID scanned and given a badge to wear.
- Sit at the designated visitor table with your student only.
