Change to lunch volunteer sessions

This year, the PTO will shift to a new volunteer schedule for lunch service days (Mondays and Wednesdays). In the past, Wednesday volunteers were scheduled to work in 20 minute shifts between 10:45am-1:20pm. On Mondays, volunteers would work for longer periods of time, covering multiple grade levels. This year, we'd like to provide more consistency and use the same volunteer schedule on both days.

On Mondays and Wednesdays, four lunch volunteers will be asked to help serve lunch from 10:45am-1:20pm  Two members of the Fifth Grade Committee will be present on each day, making a team of six lunch volunteers that will work together during the same time slot.

It's impossible to create a perfect scheduling system, but the hope is that the new timeline will ensure more consistent coverage over all grade levels, and that we can meet volunteer support needs in other areas too.

To provide everyone with as much info as possible, the volunteer sign ups have been posted early. All lunch dates for the year are listed and can be claimed well in advance. Click here to be take to the signup page. 

Thank you to all of our parent volunteers who give their time and help make our lunch program so successful!! Looking forward to another great year!
