General Lunch Duty Protocols
- Teachers on lunch duty should circulate throughout the lunch space.
- Be in the lunch area within 2 minutes of the bell
- Tag team bathroom break, ask for help to watch the last minute of your class if you need to get to the Spartan Market
- Avoid ‘clumping’ for more than a couple of minutes before continuing to circulate.
- Maintain lines of sight to the majority of the lunch area.
- While circulating, encourage students to pick up their trash, don’t wait until the last 2 minutes to ask for the trash to be picked up.
- When speaking with students, include positive communication. Lunch is an opportunity to build positive relationships and get to know our students
- Give students 3 minute warnings to finalize trash pick up and walk around while they clean up.
- Intervene with poor behavior. Kids should enjoy their lunch but not at the expense of others. Escalate to Viscokis or Byers if needed.
- Alert Byers through email if there are students or areas that the next lunch duty squad should be aware of.
