Always Growing: Focused Lunch Period, Not Silent Lunch
As part of our building PBiS plan, we have common expectations in the shared areas of the school. Throughout the year, we review these expectations with students to ensure the best environment for learning. One of the most common places we have to review expectations is the lunchroom.
Recently, we have received inquiries about “silent lunch”. We are not instituting a silent lunch with our students as we believe that lunch and recess are an important part of the student's day and their ability to socialize and play with friends is important. Since this is something that we value as a building we do not expect students to be silent.
We have, however, started a “focused eating period”. This focused eating period is about 5 minutes of the student's lunch. During this time, students can talk to their table mates at a low level (students often call it a whisper- but we just ask that it is soft), and should not get out of their seats to use the restroom unless it is an emergency. For more information about this focused period, click on the link below.
