DHS Lunchroom Supervisor Duty Created: 8/30/18

Updated:8/26/19

Together, we are stronger! Let’s have consistent high team expecta ons for the responsible use of our building. Here are the basic processes and procedures for DHS
lunchroom supervision and working with students and other persons that use our cafeteria/lunchroom. This is a working/dra document as we will learn more of what
works. We will keep this document manageable and succinct--like our classroom rules! This is a start.

Lunch me is a great me to establish and maintain rela onships with students! It is fun!

Basic items for the new school year 2019-20:

All lunch dining will take place on the lower level of the cafeteria. We have 255 seats on the south side and 155 on the servery (north) side. Students must fill in the
empty seats on the lower level and may have to sit with someone they do not know. No ea ng lunch on the upper level or digital commons.

Matching high chairs/tables and furniture stay in the digital commons and mezzanine area. Do not bring/mix these items from lower to higher and vice versa. Keep all
furniture in its current loca on--as is. Old blue chairs on the lower level always must remain nearest the servery (north) side for use with the empty tables (tables w/o
fixed seats) and for easy cleanup. Students may combine the square tables along the south, large front window area.

Proper food/garbage recycling by all persons is very important. We will all receive training at the start of the year and follow up trainings therea er. S ll important
in 2019-20 but we do not have enough staff to do this every minute. Try your best!

Students will stay in the lower level cafeteria area un l dismissed by their lunchroom area (floor) supervisor at the correct me. No bull-rushing down the hallway. The
north servery side will be excused first to avoid this.

Lunch students are not to be in the TAC or walking track area. When appropriate, shut the doors leading to the track area. Students may fill their water bo le on the
south side, upper mezzanine area by the new bathrooms.
