Lunch Duty

Volunteers will wear an apron with unwrapped items like napkins and loose utensils in a plastic bag, wrapped items such as condiments and straws).  The lunch servers can review which condiments you need that day and how many the children can have.

When the children arrive, they will raise their hands if they need assistance (opening cartons, needing napkins, straws).

Once Mrs. Popielarczyk dismisses a class, the lunch volunteers then clean the tables and benches before the next group arrives.

See Paul Cramer or Connie Popielarczyk to go over procedures and have them show you how to use the table cleaners.

Recess Duty

Sign in at the office and then wait in the hallway for the first group to go out for recess.  Follow group out.

On the playground, it is important to circulate amongst the children.  You may be asked to tie shoes, to give a push on the swing, throw a ball, etc.  You may also need to remind children of the recess safety rules.

Once a group lines up to go inside, Ms. Chalupa and Ms. D’Agostino will walk the kids inside.  The parent volunteers will wait on the playground for the next group to arrive.

See Karen Chalupa or Kathy D’Agostino to go over expectations.
