LUNCHROOM SUPERVISION SERVICES

All children in grades 1-5 who stay at school during their lunch break have now been registered for Lunchroom. You will find the monthly fee loaded you’re your account at MyCBE/PowerSchool. If your child stays at school during their lunch break, this fee is not optional. (Children are not required to participate in lunch supervision services if other arrangements are made for their supervision outside of the school and families have taken responsibility for ensuring care is provided.)

 

Lunch supervision services provide participating students with supervision while they are eating and during the lunch period activities. Families of students staying at school during the lunch period are required to pay the annual Lunch Supervision Fee. Revenue from these fees are used by schools to hire lunchroom supervisors. Income tax receipts are issued for Lunch Supervision Fee: Receipts may be included as childcare expenses for income tax purposes.

 

At Northern Lights School, lunch supervision is provided for students in Grades 1 and 2 Mondays through Thursdays from 11:30 am – 12:10 pm and for Grades 3, 4, and 5 from 12:15 – 12:55 pm.

 

Students have 20 minutes to play outside and 20 minutes to eat.  If a child requires more eating time, this is permitted and accommodated for. 

 

If you notice that your child is not eating their lunch, please reach out to your child’s teacher so they can communicate with the lunch supervisor so they can help address the situation.
