Message for Cafeteria Visitors
For the safety of all students, the McAlpine school policy for lunch visitors includes the following:
1. Visitors must sign in with a photo ID in the front office.
2. Visitors must sit at the Visitor Table with their child, no friends included.
3. We ask that families limit the number of visitors to (1 or 2) guests as we have limited space.
4. Additional seating can be found in the courtyard. Please inform the teacher of your intention to eat outdoors so they can pick up the student on the return to class.
5. Visitors should check out in the office and exit the building after lunch. Visitors should not be in the halls or walk students back to their classrooms.
