Eighth grade students will have the opportunity to have a small snack at the beginning of SOAR/Hawk Talk each day. With this privilege, there are a few guidelines that students must remember.
Students may only have a small, healthy snack (examples: piece of fruit, carrots, granola bar, etc.) If it is not, teachers may inform the student that what he/she brought will have to wait until lunch to be eaten.
Students are not permitted to bring their lunch with them to class at this time. Their snack must truly be a snack.
Students must be able to finish their snack in the amount of time allotted by the classroom teacher.
Students may not share or trade with other students.
Students must clean up after themselves and make sure all trash is thrown away.
No food is permitted to be consumed in the hallway.
