Another Change to the Cafeteria Schedule

01/29/09 12:17 PM
After a review of the positive and negative benefits and effects of the current cafeteria schedule we are piloting a new schedule. The new schedule will try and correct the problems and keep the positives. We will begin eating using the new times on 2-2-09. Some of the negatives with the current schedule is the cafeteria is too loud and the children do not have enough time. It was also difficult for the staff to keep ahead of the meals. The new schedule will deal with these concerns. There were many positives to the current schedule. The big one was that students had longer to eat and were able to finish their lunches. Some grades had extended time in the morning for reading. Some non-anticipated positives benefits included the cafeteria being easier to clean, and student behavior improved. The new lunches will be five minutes shorter, but longer that they what they were and recess will be back to its original time. The students will still sit in the seats they are currently using in the cafeteria. Hopefully this combination of keeping the positives and adjusting for the negative will create a great plan.
The new time schedule is as follows.

Grade Lunch Recess
First 11:10- 11:35 11:35-11:55
Second 11:35- 12:00 12:00- 12:20
Third 12:00- 12:25 12:25-12:45
Fourth 12:25-12:50 12:50- 1:10
Fifth 12:50:1:15 1:15- 1:35
